Tmhudd. Reading your post and thinking about my elderly dad attempting to play twister made me laugh out loud. The mental image is both funny and disturbing.
I have not told my wife my true thoughts but I am almost positive that dad is aware that what he is removing is not what my wife portrays. My dad over many years has assisted in the removal process. Maybe the first time he was not aware. This time I can not believe he is that shallow. In several calls with him since I wanted to ask but refrained.
My brother is calling or texting daily. His wife was extremely pleased with the results of the weekend. Her only regrets are that she wished she had not let her jealousy influence her past thoughts and actions towards my wife. My brother is attempting to accelerate things. I keep telling him to slow down, let his wife lead the occurrences and only step in when necessary. It's like holding back a bull in a china shop. He appears to be getting what I've been saying in recent calls.
My SIL has text me several times. She has text and called my wife. She is thankful we are so accepting of her. Recent text was more active in a back and forth about our thoughts of the weekend.
Tabitha got to hear all about our trip and has invited herself for our next trip. At least my recent interactions with Tabitha has been more casual conversations rather than her normal in my face and on me interactions of the past. My wife may be responsible.
My boss has scheduled a visit to my replacement. I will at least be home that week to attend his meetings. He and my wife made the arrangements for him to stay with us rather than a hotel. After he is done I hope to go camping with my wife for the weekend.
