Ex-wife called this morning and wanted to know if I was going to son' s kindergarden Christmas party. Yes. Went and we stuck together like glue. We just talked, talked and talked. Afterwards she invited me to lunch and all 3 of us went. Had a good time. One of her friends came in and we all laughed and joked. I didn't do the usual bargaining and promising as I had in the past. It was hard, but I didn't. She says that she gets depressed and HAS to talk to her counselor. Yes, she is actually seeing a Christian counselor. After lunch her and my son went Christmas shopping with her friend. When she got into her car, I hugged her. Maybe too much there? Anyway I did it. She also invited me to her sister's house for Christmas dinner. She usually calls me at night and I hope that she does tonight. Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated. I am in Plan A for a month and a half. Thanks in advance

Good JOb on the no barganing.<P>I'm kinda in the same boat as far as not begging and barganing goes. It's hard as hell not to.<P>Keep things in God's hands and try not to do his work for him.<P>Bill<P><BR>"commit to the Lord what ever you do, and your plans will succeed" Proverbs16:3<P><P>------------------<BR>BB<BR>

We did talk tonight and talked and laughed even more. She told me about shopping and all the fun she had and the hassles. I just realized it. She LOVES to talk. She asked me to call her in A.M. to give her a wake up call. She actually thanked me for hugging her. She said it made her feel good. Thanks to all for the response. Any more would be great.
