Update: saw W tonight for the first significant amount of time in weeks. She, D4, and I played a board game and horsed around a little. W seemed to have a good time and said "Y'all are so sweet," including me in that. It was kinda nice to have a little fun and just enjoy each other's company.
This is the last we'll see of W until we get back from Disneyworld next Saturday, since she's going out of town with OM tomorrow for the weekend. W is definitely going to miss going on the trip, but she said earlier this week that work would keep her from going, no matter what (whether I wanted her to go and whether she felt like it).
W was at the house today for 2 hours, but spent an hour of that on the phone with a customer (typical). So, W spent a total of about 2 1/2 hours this week with D4, which has been about average for her over the last three months. I've really sensed that D is starting to build some resentment. When W called for her on Wednesday night, she talked for only a second before handing the phone to my SIL, who was over here for a while (in fact, D now sees much more of SIL and MIL than she does of her own mother). I've seen many books and articles on spouses reconciling, but I have to wonder about what the long-term effects of this abandonment are going to be on D. She knows that the reason that Mommy doesn't live at the house anymore is that she doesn't want to live with Daddy.
Anyway, we'll see if anything happens while D and I are at WDW. As I said earlier, it really doesn't matter to me so much anymore. Whatever happens, happens.
The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." (Psalm 145:18)
