Weekend went GREAT, had a wonderful day together yesterday, shopping, dining, talking, got away from the house and took a "mini-vacation". Not a lot of OR stuff in a sense, just more recognition and appreciation of both of our strengths and weaknesses, and how we complement each other. She sees me as a strong person, one that deserves respect, and admitted she hasn't been showing it to me like she should. She's willingly reaching out her hand for help, and it seems like she's ready to accept it now.
Had a school / homework issue involving step-S last night, one she involved me in. She told me she wants to do with him like I've been doing with her, helping to guide him through his problems without doing everything for him. Try to make him feel a little less overwhelmed about life. Hard to describe how this made my heart feel!
May not be posting much for a while, I have a house to get back in order. Seems like trying something different DOES work, no matter how drastic it may feel. Feels like I'm moving into a new phase of DB'ing, entering more of a place of SBT'ing for the problems in our lives. Wish me luck!!
Thanks, everyone. You all are the GREATEST!!
