Walked in a she was smiling, we both gave each other a kiss, and first thing she asked...did you get a haircut? I said yes. D18 asked, don't you like it? She replied, yes, it's just that's the first time your father has paid for a haircut in 20 years.
I have been upbeat, engaged with the kids, helping with homework, and I went for a run. I went up to shower and she came up and started talking to me while I was in the shower. I asked about her feelings about S11's basketball tournament, she asked about my trip. I definitely was asking more questions that she was. Also asked about her family. You can tell she's dealing with a lot there.
She is smiling and engaging, but there still seems to be a small barrier there. I'm just going to keep up with my changes and be the man only a fool would leave. I think she's having a hard time believing this is real. Patience tonight, and I should get a real temp check tomorrow in MC. I will prepare for anything there, 180 there, and just validate and be an empathetic listener. Wish me luck!!
