still holding on - 5

[u-turn]

Since W came back from her trip, it has been nothing but icy. No communication, not even a look in the eyes.

I'm trying to keep my PMA (and giving her back 80%). I think this is different than usual too. I usually ask about her family, her trip, how everything was. She is not starting any conversations. She has not asked about our weekend either.

I'm volunteering to work at my D14 swim meet tonight - hoping to meet some of the other swim parents. I have usually stayed in the background when it comes to things like this. I am usually not the one to initiate this kind of interaction (though my inner introvert is a little anxious). I think it will be good for me - since I have 4 more years of high school swimming ahead. I love watching my kids swim.
