...and for the first time, as far as I can remember, they actually all volunteered a hug and a kiss!
this, I feel, is a a major breakthrough.
this week I have noticed little changes in their behaviour towards me both collectively and individually.
dss (7) has been very cuddly, well mannered and in a way thoughtful.
dss (5) actually wanted me to cuddle him and stroke his head at bedtime last night
dss (3) has preferred me to dp over the last two days and we spent a lot of time yesterday, just us, on the couch yesterday laughing and pulling silly faces to each other
seems we have just turned a corner and now they have gone back to mums for a week
it's like each week we have to reestablish the relationship, house rules etc etc
I don't think I did anything different this past week, but for the first time in ages they have gone and I feel pleased with how the past week has gone
a bit of a self indulgent post really, but I just wanted to mark the occasion in some way.
we may actually be alright
