Jo,

I wish I would have learned that lesson about four months ago. But, you're dead nuts. (That's an American expression for extremely accurate) I haven't been acting as caring lately, except for genuine interest in some of her goings-on. I am not doing anything at the house except for picking up after myself and making sure it is known I'm doing it for myself. I told her last night, "I made the mess, I'll clean it up." when I was picking up the kitchen when she got home.
