About 7 months ago, I got paged to come back into work while on the way home. I had about 10 people running around trying to figure out why a testing environment wasn't coming online at work. I work in Information Tech during the day. What I stated was that I had an off-situation at work and that I admitted I didn't handle it well. They ended up walking across the street to their mom's when the incident happened.
I have them Thurs-Sunday this week and my intent is to make them my sole focus. I should have made them my sole focus 7 years ago.
My daughter bottled up her emotions the past 7 months, and last night, she actually spoke her mind. I was really proud she did that!
I try to spend as much time as she will let me, which often is taking her places or friend's houses. I still get about 10 minutes of car time with her, which is better then nothing!
I'm not going on dates. I do think trust needs to be rebuilt, but man, these kids have not been around at all the past few months. I brought that up to D15 last night too - it's hard to see changes in people if you are never around to see them.
I try to call/text daily. I am all ears on ideas to win their trust back.
