As we go to MC tomorrow after my 4 day work trip, I think I'll start a new thread (old one at 97 anyway).
Things have been going well since I have been home. She's definitely struggling with her family's issues. I just sit and listen, validate, empathize, and tell her I'm here for her. I've been super engaged with the kids since being home and already to a trip to Target. We haven't really had any time alone, but there is a small feeling of closeness, but still yet to have any physical affection, etc.
1) Continue working on myself and 180s 2) Be very patient, give her time and space 3) NO expectations, especially on a time line 4) Be supportive and empathetic about what she going through (especially in MC tomorrow)
