My New Scenario

[Newly20]

Just another update, today is a week since she moved out. Have seen her a total of 5 times for exchange of daughter. No communication amongst us during exchange except for one day where i brushed D's hair like a certain Disney princess. W asked D who brushed it, then proceeded to tell me "Good Job" when she told her it was me. The only text i receive from her is to tell me what time she will be coming for daughter and then a phone call when she is outside.

I was reading up on "validation". Should i try and spark conversations with W and ask about her day, or should i keep in this NC per say and see where this goes? It's only been a week so maybe I'm trying to change strategy too soon, patience is not a strong suit for me unfortunately.

Also, in the past i have always been more of the "Dead Sea" in terms of conversations, would it be a good 180 to be the one to initiate contact in our interactions with the baby exchange or just hold off on this.

So much to read and so many different situations that its difficult to decide what route to go...
