I still have my short mood swings, but overall I am good, just in a "quiet" phase right now I guess. W is definitely working something out, very withdrawn and seems depressed again. I give her space and be neutral to upbeat in my interactions with her, regardless of what she throws my way. But she has been more "low energy" as Cadet might say, and the vibes in the house were more peaceful, but she is processing, so that might change again.
The kids always help me be my best "me"...
My oldest deployed to fight wildland fires yesterday, not sure where he is yet, but he will let me know when he can...probably SoCal. It always saddens me some when he goes, miss him. It affects W too, so I keep that in mind.
I have come too far to quit yet, gotta see how this plays out, but I have my moments of wanting to toss it in like we all do I suppose. My L said to try to wait it out, from what I described and his experience, she may be on the tail end of the worst part...but idk, just rolling with it...
