So this morning went pretty well. We met up at her place while the kids were in school, then went out for coffee. We talked and joked around a bit it was alright. I made a conscious effort to let her talk, and guide the conversation without talking about myself too much. I feel I could improve in that regard but it all went well.
Then I went to my counseling session that went better than the previous few sessions. It actually went significantly better. So I was doing pretty well there.
I got back, hung out with my son for a bit while my wife took a nap on the couch. We played some video games and waited for my daughters school bus. Then we packed them up and now we're at my moms house for the weekend.
So far so good.
My mom apparently wants to talk to my wife and I've kind of had her hold off on this for a while. My mom indicated to me that she wanted to talk to her again, so i told my wife to call my mom sometime, as my mom wanted to talk to her. So theyre going to hang out sometime next week.
Now a while ago I wanted my mom to basically go in as a puppet and do my bidding, talk to her on my behalf, convince my wife that divorce isnt the right way to go.. etc.. but now.. after doing alot of reading, soul searching, crying, talking, listening.. etc.. I told her to just go talk to her, do alot of listening and talk about whatever they want but please don't put any pressure on her.
I dont know. Im not sure my mom getting involved is such a good idea or not. but my mom and my wife get along pretty well. so... with all the hope ive got i hope it works out well.
