Thanks for your perspective. I am in a low spot. Six months of this is really grinding me down. I know to work on me and I have and continue to do so but you know, sometimes there is just no positive/optimistic energy left. Monday night she left while I was reading to our daughter and left a note "be back later" because I had told her NOT to come in during bedtime ritual and tell me she was "going out for a while" as it upsets me in front of our daughter. I thought that was gutless but I think we've reached a new low for bad behavior. Tonight she knew I was crying so she came outside, just looked at me, went back into the house and next thing I hear is her car starting. But Ms Manners left a note "be back in early AM". She returns before daughter gets out of bed. She actually wants to tell daughter that she is having "sleepovers" but I won't let her.
And speaking of low spots, daughter just got up and "can't sleep" Hope I can stop crying long enough to get her taken care of. god this sucks
Patience is not only a virtue, sometimes it is an impossibility.
