Hi Wes, I feel like I am a day late here! Hopefully things are becoming a little clearer for you.
Quote: except I read in the part about some things can't be overlooked. Referring to the step-kids issue.
I've been meaning to say something about this issue and don't know if this will come out right; oh well, here goes. Somewhere on the bb I was reading about the WAS might impose a 'layering' condition. First the lbs has to fix this issue, and when that doesn't seem to be the thing to make them happy; they 'layer' on another condition. I've been going through this w/my ex and the finances. His latest condition for me just won't work (bankruptcy) since it will still not take it off his credit. So I know he has me in a catch-22.
The issue of stepkids is a bit tougher condition to follow. Kids have their own issues and it may have nothing to do w/you or your kids. And this may still be her issue. You just have to do what you feel is right for the kids.
Quote: The last three days the phone convos have been strained and unnatural.
That's how I felt w/my ex's last phone call. But I think it was both of our faults. We get so worried about saying the wrong thing that we don't feel natural about the convo anymore.
Ok, enough of my lecturing to you. Don't let your expectations take over. I read over what you said about emailing her and she emailed right back, then called and asked you for dinner? Lucky you! When I email the ex, I don't get a response for 3 days if at all!
Look at the positives and keep up the good work! t/c, T
