Gordie: MLC W with a BF...negotiating our D #12

[Gordie]

Journaling: I have done more to advance the d in a few weeks than w did over the last year. On the one hand, she says I just want this to be done. On the other, she is surprised that I have been pushing it forward so quickly. We are still under the same roof but are usually not at home at the same time. W still does her normal mother activities more often that not, but more things slip through the cracks than they used to and I have picked up the slack. She has also become more of a Disney mom in terms of taking them out to do fun things and not disciplining them. That leaves me to be the disciplinarian and bad guy and not sure what to do about that. I have been busy living my own life which has made her pursue me in terms of interaction. I am always nice and polite but keep it short. Tonight she said she wants to talk to me this week. Goal of the week is to get the agreement back from L and have her sign it. This was one of the hardest weeks of this journey but with all of your support, I survived!
