Alpha and WAW - part 2

[alpha99]

Oh, I forgot to add: she said her mum was trying to tell her what to do. Now, limiting the mind reading I think it could be one of two things:

Telling W how to look after kids

Or

Telling W to reconsider. The reason I say this is that her mum has been warming to me the last few days. She made me a cup of tea and gave me biscuits yesterday. We had a short, pleasant exchange about the weather, the kids etc. She asked if I wanted to stay whilst kids ate their tea yesterday. I think she has seen a big change in me, regardless of whether that's what she is talking to W about or not. It would be good to get them onside. Her father also has appeared more concerned about me, asking how I am since I backslid the other day. I think he sees the pain I'm in, the situation for the kids, w's stubbornness and feels empathetic to me. As I wrote previously, he did say he was trying to drill into W how she might rethink things.

I don't know if them pressuring her (if that's what they're doing) is a good or bad thing, but DB coach asked if they were onside as it would help. I said no the other day, but maybe if they get onboard that might be a positive thing.

W wouldn't stand with me in playground. She left her bag in the car, and after I left her and said goodbye, see you later (she said it back) she called and came to get her bag. I was sat in car. As she approached I acted as if, gave her a big smile. She smiled back quite warmly for a brief moment, as if she forgot herself, before it faded. We exchanged the bag and said see you later again.
