After closing up the computer last night, I picked up my copy of Co Dependent No More and happened to be right at the chapter "Don't be blown about by every wind" which focused exactly on what MrBond was saying.

Don't be reactionary.

Had a good morning with kids. Another small victory, wife again told me about something going on in her life. Goal review -

My current goals were:

I will engage her about non-kid related subjects and actively listen for 4 out of seven days (I am on track with this one, it's happening almost every day now. I think I'm at 2 days in a row, and one more before the weekend)

I will be outrightly honest with her regarding custody arrangements and I will be respectful of her thoughts and feelings on the subject (I have not been able to make this happen yet. I'm struggling to find the right medium, time, and place)

I will do something with other people each day this weekend. (I did this)

In the next couple days, I probably need to revise these for this week. I know one I can add for sure:

I will complete the PTSI evaluation before close of business Thursday for my IC counseling with CSA specialist on Friday.
