This is for you and CBT both I reckon.

I'm not quite 100% on it, but you'll both be pleased to know it continues to grow. More than 75% right now. It has helped my emotions for sure. Saw her today for pool time with S. I was totally determined not to talk about anything other than S, and I didn't. She was very strange. Only wanted to get in the pool for about 10 minutes with him, then laid out with a magazine. She didn't talk very much and was very put out with some of his antics (he has this bad habit of screaming if he doesn't get his way, part of his speech delay I think) in a mean fashion I only noticed over the past few months. It's more pronounced now, or I'm just more cognizant of it.

After she left, she called and asked if I thought his actions were because of her. I was honest (and unemotional) in saying that I believed it was him acting out to get her attention. He sees her for a limited time, compared with 24/7 he's used to, and wants all the attention he can get. He's also happier to see me than ever. She said "I'm not looking for emotional support, just strategies for S." Oh, and it's working. She asked all about the Meetup I went to (hard to lie to someone's face when they ask you 3 times where you're going, so she knew), how many people, if I'm going to another, etc.

Also mentioned she feels the flu coming on again. Her immune system is in horrible shape, and said she might get a flu test. I know it's stress.

All that said, I'm in pretty good shape. I have S tonight and will be taking him to my folks tomorrow, and eating supper with them. This week, I'm going to visit my buddy who's a bartender at O'Charley's. Also, when WW gets off from jury duty we're supposed to visit a preschool or two. Beyond that, I need to clean around the house, read the relevant parts of DR again, do my own reading I've drifted away from due to emotions, take longer walks with my dog for exercise and possibly start playing golf again. Yes, I stink, and stopped playing once I became a Daddy so I'll be back at square one lol!

Thx for stopping by, I appreciate you guys!! Y'all have a great weekend.
