I feel really good today. This past weekend was D15's b-day. It provided an opportunity for the family to be together. Fri PM D15 & friends had cake & ice cream at home w/WAW. I could tell that WAW was uncomfortable, but I just acted as if this were any other b-day party. On Sat PM I visited the WAW's apt for the 1st time to have cake & ice cream w/WAW & D15 & D13. I remembered to leave before my welcome was worn out. It was uncomfortable, but I focused on D15, b-day.
Interestingly, on Sun PM when WAW brought D's home, she stayed and watched D15 open another gift. Last night WAW came in and sat down to watch TV waiting for D15 to get something for her. This hasn't happened before. I cut short a phone call to sit with them for a few minutes, on the other end of the couch.
I've really tried to be empathetic in listenting to WAW's complaints about taxing D's around, etc. I wonder if this is related.
Just wanted to let everyone know out there know that I had a good day! J
