I have been doing "OK" I guess, Decided to take a break from these boards for a while, as I seemed to have nothing to add or gain. Wife's situation not progressing as well as I was hoping, as a matter of fact, it's about back to the "cold war" we have enjoyed for the past 8 years. So much hope.......
My counselor wanted to get her to fill out a Talor-Johnson Temperment Analyis on me, but she wouldn't even do THAT for me. He says NOT talking IS communication. I guess I have never looked at it that way, but I guess that's so.
My older teenaged daughter is moving out next week, so that should change the environment in the house; to what degree reamins unclear (i.e. positive or negaive). A lot of my "conflicts" with the Mrs. centered around my older daughter, so I am hoping it will be a positive thing.
My 7 year old daughter is starting to ask more questions about "mommy". I used to try to find a nice sugary answer so that she would not worry about things, but my counselor has suggested that I tell her to ask her mother why she does/doesn't do things. Maybe that will force my wife to see how she is adversely affecting her now so that the cycle won't be repeated with her later (i.e. overcompensation-obsession due to guilt over neglect when she was young.....like she has with my older daughter).
So.......are you SURE you really wanted to know how I am? ;)
