Journal. I went to D16 therepy appt. It was nice to see the work she is doing to recover from her accident. She was proud to show me.

I had an encounter with W in my driveway yesterday morning. I was lewving for the day when she arrived. I let her know that I'd be in meetings for the dsy and that she was "it" in case of emergency. I gave her the kids schedule for the day including D16's modified one. She reiterated that she could take d anywhere if needed but then added the ME AND D16 Don't want her help. I asked her not to include me in that statement and told her that I've encourage d D16 to reach out and maintain a healthy R with W. She further said : " if I were the one in your shoes (the one at home with the kids etc.) I would have told D16 that mom is picking you up after you appt and that's final...instead of allowing D16 to get a ride home with a neighbor. " I told W I will not force D to spend time with her. I feel that doing so will cause more issues. T seems to agree and I told W that.

Why are WAS soooo oblivious to everybody else's want/needs and hurts...?


This week I chsnged up my gym schedule so thst I am here in the morning and more available to the kids. Even though tbey don't vocalize it, the quiet response seems to be positive to the change. I ama dad first and I can tske care of my needs after they are all set to go.
