Just a quick update... nothing major. Last night, she was super talkative. For the most part, I just validated and listened. She felt cold at times (definitely still no physical contact), but giggly at others. This detachment thing is GOLD. I think it helps so much with respect to not being enmeshed or dependent on the other for happiness. However, it also seems to make her interested in me. After dinner, I said, "I want a milkshake from Sonic, anybody else want to go?" All 3 kids screamed yes, and W said ohhhh.. I'm going to stay and clean the kitchen, can you get me a shake? Kitchen was cleaned and she was all smiles when we got back. She got in the bath when we got upstairs, I read while in bed and started to fall asleep. She hopped in bed and said, "Goodnight, baby." I put my hand on her leg for a couple of seconds and said goodnight.
This morning was status quo. Came down for coffee and said good morning with a smile. Low expectations, detach, positive, upbeat, GAL, continue with 180s, speaking her LL, and validating.
