Looks like you are still at a good place with yourself and maybe the W sees this and wants to be part of the family.
We can only hope.
I know a lot of the comments they make are reflex and I believe a lot of the things they say, are to see if we will respond and then they can say, "There he is, same old H." So not responding or changing your response, changes the dynamic whether they acknowledge it or not. At this is what I want to be consistent on.
