Progress is slow but does happen!

Rough morning this morning as D10 said to me she misses Mommy, I sympathized with her and said I miss her too...

As I read through the many threads here, it seems that most of you are communicating regularly with your S on some level (good/bad what have you).

I've been very limited in my conversation with W, usually tactical in nature with very few words... I'm wondering if this is somehow backfiring on me though - one of our challenges pre BD was that we didn't communicate well and I think she found that I was boring and not fun to be around.

Wondering how I can perhaps shift this perception, I know one of the golden rules is to not initiate conversation, but if I don't how can I demonstrate some level of change?

When she's around it's like we both avoid each other and say the bare minimum possible. It definitely creates a tense environment... Even though I'm acting very friendly and happy - especially around my D.
