Cali, she had initially called to tell me about one of the kids being sick...once that was done, she then began by asking how I was and then BAM...the venting began. Before I knew it, we'd been on the phone for 30-45 minutes. Again, I just tried to validate her and only responded with "you know what I want", when she had said something similar.
I agree on the availability thing...I'm NC unless it is kid related or a financial question. It has been difficult, since for as long as I can remember, we spoke several times per day. I guess at some point, when she is alone at her place, maybe she feels the loss. But I know I cannot assume anything about what she feels.

This does happen .... they will find reasons to initiate contact (Notice we would consider this pursuing on our end) and before you know it you are sucked in. Over time you will be a salty captain of this vessel and know when the bad seas are about to arrive and you can excuse yourself more gracefully.
You are getting there, its not easy but I can see the turn around in your posts. Keep working
