Sure thing...feel free to call us your friends! What a nice feeling, isn't it?
It's your lucky night! I am around to hug you (((Jay))). Staying inside to keep warm from the frigid temps.
I am so sorry that you're feeling really down and having a rough time with all of this. It is not an easy thing to live with day in and day out.
My suggestion? I think it would be helpful to start saying "hi there" to W. Keep at it even if she's cold or is very brief with you. In the face of coldness, one needs to keep chipping away at the glacier. Take it from me...it took me a good 4 solid months before Ms. Wonka cracked open just a teensy bit.
The most important thing is not to acknowledge W's "friends" or whatever. Instead treat her like a roommate that you know and like (well...maybe not at the moment).
Try to keep your comments short...like "wow, just saw the news that the temps are really dropping!" The trick is to keep the convos impersonal to the WAS.
I'm curious...when was the last time that you, W and your daughters spent time together in the same room?
