So I had my first interaction with my wife since her suicide attempt in April last evening. My two younger daughter where supposed to go down for the weekend after my middle on got out of work. They ended up getting into a fight, younger one went to her room and refused to go with middle daughter who ended up leaving and going to wife's place alone. I text wife to let her know they were fighting. That was at about 7:40 pm. I get call from middle daughter about 8:30pm to say she and wife were trying to call youngest who would not answer. I sent wife text that she is welcome to come over to talk to youngest. She responds right back that she will be over shortly. Mind you she lives 1 mile down the road. She knocks on door around 9Pm. She has clearly taken the time to get a bit dressed up and done her makeup. I invite her in and send her up to see daughter while I am doing the dishes. She comes out and visits with the dog. We start to talk and I ask her if she has noticed the floors in the downstairs. I also tell her I have finished the pantry and would she like to see it. I can tell she is blown away by the floors and the pantry by the questions and comments she makes. We spent a few minutes talking about the girls. I tell her some of the stuff that went on over the summer and how I have empathy and understanding for her when she tried to do it alone last summer. I kept the conversation strictly to the kids and the house work. I did not comment on her appearance or even ask how she was doing. I felt that she would even view that as prying. I consider what happened to be an extremely small positive step and I am trying hard not to read anything into it. I don't know what to think of the fact that she clearly had dressed up a bit and touched up her makeup. Normally after work she gets into something comfortable. I am pleasantly surprised how it went and won't expect anything more. I did tell her when she was leaving that she is more than welcome to come over anytime to talk to the girls if she wants. I hope I handle this correctly.
