Again my daughter forgot another book at her mom's and she had to come over here. My son did get up to see her this time, which is good. She was standing outside in the cold talking to them and I said she could come in. She was here for about 10 minutes talking to my daughter the whole time. I was sitting in the entry with them and telling her about things my daughter had done. Like how she had rocked her homework and rocked school. My daughter took her over to she her our Christmas tree and I told my wife it was ok.
We had just made chocolate covered pretzels and I insisted my wife take one with her before she left. All of that went fine, and in my heart somewhere I felt hope.
Scott, I think everything you did was fine. But that bolded part, that SHOULD NOT follow from everything before it. It is OK to have hope, but what you should hope for is possible recon way down the road, not right now. It's simply not in the cards to happen anytime soon. So be nice, but don't do it to try and "nice her back". Be polite and cordial, but don't have ANY expectations that it changes a thing.
I know this is tough, just keep at it and it'll get easier!
