H came back from the canoe trip on Sat. and, for the most part, things have been OK. By OK I mean not a lot of tension, some sharing, doing thoughtful acts....but absolutely nothing dealing with touch or talks or anything about the future. But for now, that is alright.
Holdingon & Raindeer.....D23 knows that my M of 25 years is in trouble and what I think she is saying is that she is watching to see how I handle it. Am I willing to give up when the going is rough or is M something that one fights for.....whatever form that fighting takes. I have discussed many issues with D23 but, to this point, I have not told her anything that she has not picked up herself and questioned me about. My fear of talking to the kids too much is that if H and I do get back together that I would have driven a wedge between them and H that could not be removed.
H, S14 and I leave Friday for 4 days for son's swim meet and then to Mount Rushmore for the 4th. Hopefully it will be quality time with H.
