I apologize that I did not catch your replies until now.
Your list indicates that you are on the right path. Keep at it. Perseverance is the key here. Stay disciplined and engaged with it.
i seek to new things as certain things that worked for me may not still or if I try something and it does not work at all. Basically the process as in DB. Pick my goal Pick my actions Monitor Adjust and repeat until I accomplish what is needed.
I am going to step back a bit, but if I can be of assistance holler at me over on my thread and I will check in.
You are doing well. Keep at it.

Staying busy with work and trying to GAL. Had some friends from college in last weekend - it was nice to reminisce and have their love and empathy. Been doing a lot with d8 when she is with me. d8 stated last night that WAW "broke out hearts". Sad to hear that from her but I didn't reply. She will figure it out on her own in time. d8 has been having anxiety issues when dropping off at school and not sure how to deal with it. I just try and encourage here and support her as best I can. I have been working on a better diet and daily exercise which seems to be helping. My new IC has been great and I look forward to our sessions. Peace to all.

I encourage that you seek professional assistance for d's anxiety... It is not a good habit for one so young to get trapped by...
I encourage you to venture into the community here to meet new dbers... I think more visitors to your story can shed more feedback and support for you... Just my 2c...
It is good to hear from you my friend.

Thanks SH. WAW called this morning crying that d8 was behaving badly towards her. I told WAW that we need to be gentle and have compassion and empathy towards her as we don't know what she is going through. d8 told WAW that she wants to live with me. d8 has had some of the same behaviors with me too but I try not to react to it and instead approach it with love. WAW labels her this or that and is unable to show empathy - this is a big reason for the R fail. WAW was complaining that d8 wont listen to her and that she disrespects her. WAW doesn't realize that many of these behaviors were learned from WAW herself. It makes me sad that d8 is not only dealing with all of this new reality but also still has to deal with WAW craziness.
