Wow lots to think about re tattoo! I think you guys are right. If we reconcile, it could bring back bad memories. If we don't, then I can just go ahead with it anyway but have plenty of time to decide.
W dropped off S, I was in no mood to chat as work was again stressful, traffic awful and I was really late! She mentioned she went to the Dr again today about the ear infections, and has to meet again to discuss possible surgery. I was a little shocked, but I looked her in the eye and said I hope everything is ok in the way I would to a neighbor.
Ginger, maybe I can help you. W has always been a 40hr/week preschool teacher. Up until a few weeks ago, S has always been at the preschool she has worked at. Those last couple weeks of him with her in July, unfortunately, she was still mediocre Mom and saying mean things like "he HAS to go, I can't do my job!" and other statements that made him seem like a nuisance.
I didn't let her know how the night went because we talked a "ton" relatively speaking, and she left about 3hrs before he went to sleep. I think I'll give a short "he had a good night" today though. This is one of the things I want to break with a minimal contact letter, because if we D I'm not doing anything like this from day 1. The calls to preschool, updates, details, etc are probably the last thing to go as I think I've done a good job elsewhere. I'll feel bad initially, and she'll raise hell, but it needs to happen. She's a worrier, and although her motherly instinct is coming back (which I am happy about) there's no reason for the husband she discarded to keep her up to date like he used to.
