D12s 2nd counselling session went well. I sat in reception whilst she had her appointment. She was less anxious this time and after the appointment even said she thinks D9 would benefit from going. This is a real 180 for her. Two weeks ago she was begging us not to make her go saying she didn’t need to go, there was nothing wrong and that she was fine. I am clocking this as a ein.

I am not able to do the friendly neighbour thing with H at the moment. He was supposed to help with the children so I could go on a work trip but backed out the night before. He had a valid reason but he wasn’t willing to even meet me half way and the sudden change in plans did not go down too well at work. People were relying on me and I, foolishly, was relying on him. I know my 180 is to be less distancing with him but sometimes I feel like my openness is just allowing him to cake eat. I want to be friendly with him .. distancing is not attractive ... but it does sometimes feel like “mug”.

DV - I have activated my profile in the OLD site. I seem to be attracting lots of men who are young enough for me to have given birth too and those that are within my age range feel too old. I am also seeing lots of photos of shirtless men at the gym/beach showing off their abs. Where have all the normal people gone?!?!?
