Yes I do see small cracks here and there. However sometimes I wonder if it's more a matter of W not being able to maintain the "tough, don't care about you" act, or it's just a matter she feels she can out last me in limbo land and maintaining the act is tough. I think also that she can not stand up and account for her own actions, even if that means leaving me and the kids just so she can go off and do whatever she wants. In her profession, ditching the kids would not be looked upon kindly. With her family they would definately not support that move, especially with no real cause.

So I just try to be the best Dad possible and be kind and considerate to W, act as if and just let time do it's work. What concerns me the most right now is that I can see my D15 becoming more and more like W every day. Considering what W has become now, that's not a good thing. Believe me, when I see D15 picking up most of the bad stuff, I get concerned for her R later in life.

Now, what to do for V-day? I'm not quite sure what would be appropriate. I guess we'll find out.
