Thank you Job, I really appreciate your input and encouragement.
I'm still digging up patience I never knew I had or maybe it's detachment. Xw is really upset about carving pumpkins w/o her. She looked terrible tonight when she came by to get the kids stuff. She would barely look at me or speak. Before she left I told her I didn't mean to upset her and that I would never intentionally upset or hurt her. Then she told me she felt stupid for asking me to come over. I told her I appreciated it and then it was an awkward bye. Idk why she would feel stupid but she references it a lot, feels stupid, people treat her like she's stupid. I know she was told this as a child, so sad.
