Boy, if I've ever seen a recipe for success, you got it right here:
"My plan of action? Do nothing, at least for a few days. Be distant, but loving. Give her a BUNCH of space again. Ask no questions, just listen, observe, and learn. Catch her doing things right, and let her know about them. Treat her like my best friend, nothing more, and nothing less. Remember all the positive things that have happened in the past few months. Open arms, and open eyes. Take some time for things I've been neglecting lately, and recharge my batteries. Basically, more of what's been working"
Perfect. I'll carry this piece with me in exchange for the piece I wrote that you carry! I think Michelle should add a new chapter called something like "How to Do Nothing". Some of my most powerful doings were not-doings. I just returned from vacation and guess who decided to join me & the kids at the last moment. Yep, the same w who a year ago wouldn't even go to the grocery store with me decided to go on vacation. I'll have to update my post in beginners. We had a good time.
