Wife didn't go to visit OM last night when it is her usual time (sunday night). She was so excited that our daughter is starting her new program at the local elementary school that she wasn't able to sleep.

This morning we took D3 together to her new school and to meet the teachers and the other kids. Its an awesome program and the teacher is pasionate about her career and is on top of things. I'm so glad that D3 will finally be I'm the environment she needs to really excel.

On the way back to the car, we chatted about how proud we are of our daughter. She made new friends in a matter of minutes and everyone seemed to like her very much. Especially one little boy, but we are used to that now...she is absolutely gorgeous! She's a mix white and middle eastern and has the darkest longest eye lashes you'll ever see in your life. Looks like she has makeup on lol. Love my baby.

I put my arm around W a we walked and she put her arm around me. She seemed to be squeezing a little hard and kind of had her head on my shoulder a little as we walked. We did this for probably 30 seconds before I pulled away. Its the most physical contact we've had in months but I think ill be working in more touch now. I have no idea what's going on with OM but she's into the third week now without seeing him.

He's also not commenting or liking her posts in FB and I know that's huge for W. She gauges how much people care about her by how much they pay attention to her posts. Part of that low self esteem thing again.

So where do I go from here? Pull back? Show more affection?

This could be a time she is receptive to touch. In the past, she has been most receptive when its been the longest without contact with OM. Makes sense since there is a detox period.
