Just a quick morning posting. Last night I had the 180 in full effect for our family event. We were out to dinner with the sons and their father and step mom. On the drive there, we talked about S13 and his issues but not much else. At dinner, I was upbeat and chipper and even my W shared in some good laughs. It's amazing what the right mindset can do to ease tensions. I try to detach and just be there for the boys to allow her to be free to just enjoy the time with them. I am there for support and to enjoy being a step dad. On the car ride home I remained quiet and only talked about the things she brought up. Once home I continued to 180 myself, as part of truly 180 to get back to, not just who I once was, but a better version of me. Positive, helpful and a stable presence. Pretty much what I had NOT been like for the past year or more.
I look forward to your responses, they help me along this long journey.
