Yesterday, I noticed that I did not ensure the message mentioning that I was taking our S to W's mom's house did not get through, looked like there was a service problem or something. Regardless, when I found this out, I decided to send a message apologizing, letting her know that I understood that would have been a major concern.
W: "I should have known that any opportunity would be one you'd use to hurt me, as I have been hurting you." Me: "I can see it feeling that way."
Came home from work, we had a little talk about some things, mostly her and what was going through her mind. Her mom, as I expected, laid into her again. Apparently MIL said some really inappropriate and dark things, of which upset W royally. Completely understood. She was also upset as she thought that S3 did not want to be around her because he was being difficult and unwilling to leave MIL's house. He does this to everyone, including me. MIL gives him everything he wants basically.
Today, I come home from work. Some good talks, laughs, hanging out with S3. She was actually mentioning some things about us in the future. "We should get another..." It was kind of strange. I just went along with it as if it were a joke or something.
She put her shoes on in preparation to leave. We continued talking some. She got quiet. "I love you, I do love you. You are a wonderful person, and we do well together, I do not know what I was thinking. If you are willing to accept, I want to work on....." Then she gets up, "I think I need more time." Walks out.
I kind of sit there dumbfounded. This seems like progress, just one or two more words, hopefully truthful...
