The weekend was pleasant. No R talk. Spent Friday evening with the family at dinner for my oldest son's birthday. Evening was enjoyable. Seemingly no tension, but its always there. Discussions were fun an upbeat. Saturday and Sunday were spent with the W and youngest at a soccer tournament. Again, some tension but we enjoyed the weekend. All conversations cordial.

Back at home. I notice her looking straight ahead into the abyss on many occasion. Obviously in thought. Not going to speculate what those thoughts were.

It obvious she wants to come across as the victim and waiting for me to do something. Too bad for her that anyway this goes, she will not come out of this smelling like roses. I just need to find the right opportunity to say my peace.

I admit I am reluctant to initiate the conversation but there has been no R talk and I refuse to start the school year in limbo.
