Sandi2 you don't think that exchanging kind interactions is important if part of the reason that she became wayward was the lack of affection. I don't mean constantly pursuing her, romanticizing her but being kind and nice in your interactions? Not being there constantly in her face but enjoying your life while also in your interactions together to focus on kindness.

I get your analogy of the rope and definitely if she sees us trying to pick the rope up that means we just played a game and couldn't stick to it.

From Tread's other posts it seems the more he dropped the rope the more she reached out to OM. And I wonder if perhaps that is because she was trying to convince herself that Tread didn't care about her whatsoever.
