Question: A said her number 1 value is family. I did not meet that connection with her.
I've come to realize that family is even more important to me than I have ever realized.
She is sending me pictures of my daughter to me and my mom.
Last week I FaceTimed both her sister and her mom while having my daughter on her lap.
I feel boxed into a corner where I want to participate in these activities of family (replying to pictures of my daughter and staying engaged with her family) in part because I enjoy them - but also to show her that I am in fact invested in family.
