Hi Alpha, glad you're having a nice time with the kids. I don't think there is any need for you to feel frustrated. It sounds as though things have settled in your sitch, which is good for both you and the kids.

It's best not to be looking for signs of early change in your sitch direction. All of this takes time, and the thing to aim for is being consistent over a period of time. Who knows what your W is making of it, and it doesn't really matter as long as you are on a direction of travel that is towards being the guy you want to be. W may or may not catch up with that.

As for the red face - I wonder if she's had some sort of peel? Enjoy the rest of your time with the kids.... :-)
