Feeling he's in MLC, but in D process

With pain and experience comes wisdom (at least I hope it comes).

Of course, this is from someone who tried to help her neighbor with a horse and ended up making a rookie mistake. Second time in my life I've been thrown. I'm a little sore today.

Thanks for stopping by, mutatio. These boards don't get as much traffic as "newcomers" but the advice and stories are a little more relevant to my situation.

Its hard to watch my daughters go through this. I have to find that balance when talking to them between reassuring them that I'm ok and reminding them to love their father and be loving because he is fighting his own battles.

H came over yesterday to work and I made breakfast...offered him some. He brought me coffee for my Keurig which was nice and unexpected. We worked hard on our property and then met with the realtor. Interestingly, in mediation his L was pushing for a fast sale of our house without doing the work to fix problems. But H told our realtor to price the house higher and that he wasn't in a hurry, he wanted a better price and asked for a much higher asking price. I'll take that at face value...too hard to try mindreading.

We continued to work but he had to leave to see a patient earlier than planned. He kept apologizing. We had worked well together,as usual, but no great interactions. He seemed deep in thought during our breaks, and said almost nothing. He still just looks tired.
