But I am so glad that it did go well.. i guess i went into it apprehension cuz i was under the impression that were issues that they wanted to address. i made room for them to address....asking, 'are there any issues that would make it difficult for us to move forward?' if they are any, they didnt care to mention them. and they were both really, really nice to me. not that they havent been in the past. they've always been, its just....well the circumstances. not sure why that surprises me, but they were and i was and its all good. stacieb i guess its true what ive been saying all along.... WE GET TO DECIDE HOW THIS ALL PLAYS OUT. and if my (our) intention is that things are going to go a certain way, that certain 'tone' is going to be set - one of cooperation and good-will and mutual respect (because THIS is what children need to see modeled for them) then that's what dictates how things will move forward. never underestimate the POWER of INTENTION. that and the fact that i NEVER bought into the script that we have to be WARRING SIDES. that we could move forward reasonably and amicably. i even mentioned it to J. parents tonight, we actually have the potential of having a better relationship in the future seperate that we could've ever had together. i really am hopeful for that. though i dont have 100% control over that....never have....never will. we'll just have to wait and see how THAT plays out. stacieb stacieb Glad to hear the conversation went well. With your attitude and approach I'm sure things will work out well for you and your family. thanks for your vote of confidence NEAL, i really, really appreciate it. attitude is everything and so iS how you choose to approach circumstances. im choosing to not create any more pain for myself. and the circumstances are 'bearing out' that intention. im SO INCREDIBLY FORTUNATE. life is what you make it. nodoubt.
