I found you TAG. I can open a new post for you on another thread if you like. What would you like to call it and what forum would you like it on? Have you considered the Mid Life Crisis forum? If you want to try yourself, go to the Main Index, scroll down to Open Forums, and click on the forum that you'd like to start in. Once open, click on post and a new message will pop up. You can name the subject at that point and write a message.
When you are looking in your favorites are you clicking on the part that says view all? I'm just checking because I know you said that you're not good at navigating yet.
Um, as far as any advice into your situation, I do think that the first step is for you to actively start applying for jobs in your home area. You have to try sometime and who knows how long it will take, so you should get started. Also, it is a good idea to write some goals for yourself so you know if you're moving in the right direction. Try to do that and post them for feedback.
I read a few times that you're struggling with 'why' questions and how to ask them differently. I like to think that I have a way with re-phrasing things, so if you'd like to ask a why question, you can post it and I can see if it would be helpful to re-word it.
And it's normal for a your W to take a step back when you get a positve. She's scared that she will allow herself to feel vulnerable to you again so she backs off. That's where your patiece comes in and holding on to the positives.
Does your D15 have an email address? I would think at her age that she would. That would be a good way to keep open communication between you and your D15. You can keep her up to date on what's happening in your life and hopefully get to hear some of what's happening in her life.
