srt,

I'm sorry that you are feeling a bit of a mess and yes, I do understand being emotionally tired. This journey can do that to you if you allow it to do so. That's why we continue to say "keep the focus on you and your family". No one can predict how they will be from one minute to the next and trying to figure them out is like the hamster on the wheel.

I want to just say this about the current stalling of any progress. If you are referring to her, don't assume anything. We can see what is happening within them. They don't have open wounds/scars that we can see, but their emotional growth has been badly bruised and it takes time for that to heal properly. God is working on her each and every minute of the day and you have to have faith that he will guide her and heal her. Wounds take time to heal and they didn't just happen. It tooks for them to crack open and begin to ooze, therefore, it's going to take some time for them to heal and hopefully she'll be a far more mature and responsible woman when her crisis is over. Also, you need to remember that she's not operating on your time clock. She's on her own clock and that one is very, very slow. Dig deeper for patience. I know you are frustrated, but it all does take time.

I'm glad you had a nice time w/S&D at the park. Sounds like a busy day, but it's made up of some fun and relaxing things.

As for her family, blood is thicker than water, and sometimes it takes a long time for them to realize that you aren't the problem. You have no idea as to what she's told them, so continue as you have been and try not to worry about what they are thinking because one day, they will see clearly.

Continue as you have been, keep the focus on you and your family and leave her in God's hands for now.

The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
