I appreciate the positive reinforcement and encouragement. You both bring up great points. I realize that this will happen sometimes, and I've even referenced the spew jacket myself before. I just need to learn to step back, step away, and smile. Not rescuing her and letting her deal with her situation is a big 180 for me that I continue to strive to maintains. Really appreciate your comments. Big night planned for work out and then try to GAL.
Peterv2, I've noticed my W spews a lot before she sees the OM. Seems like she needs to build resentment before she goes. Sometimes I'm really good at smiling and saying nothing. I just couldn't hold it last night. Immediate regret. Lesson hopefully learned.
I found W snooping on my phone, and asking me lots of questions today about my GAL activities to which I didn't answer. Trying to be mysterious. I spoke with her about the importance of communication regarding the kids today, and we both agreed we do not wish to communicate like we did. I imagine if we stay focused on that, we should be good for communication, although I fully expect that I will need the "spew jacket" again at several points.
