You're always moving forward. When W won't look ahead, you keep going. You strike a tough balance between S5's hopeful exclamations and the need to protect his young feelings on this long road.
Showing a significant 180 by taking W to the ER was great. My W never forgave me letting her go to the ER in an ambulance while I stayed with the kids shortly after we moved in here. She almost died that night with a tubal preganancy and she continued to bring it up after many apologies, even in and after MC. I hope your W will let the anger go before it eats too deeply into her. Surely this will open her eyes to the ways you have grown.
Tell S5 I'd ride a green horse, too, if I could!
Thanks,
K
