[WHY]

This was a very good read.  Thanks Al.

Oh my, I'm becoming a grandparent  next year

Though it does create a fuzzy warm feelings within, at the same I do feel bit alarmed for the chaos it can create.

As co-parenting with XW has proved as useless exercise time and again, I assume same will apply to co-grandparenting. Possibly best i can do is not to compare, do things I like doing, and be thankful of what is given to me.

And as far as CW goes... she's trying to figure out her future role in midst of all the cooking.

Congratulations!  Yes, I bet it does bring up a lot of questions on how that's all going to work with the crisis queens around you.  May the odds be ever in your favor!

Ugh, how quickly another month goes by....

I'm pretty sure me and CW are done with CC for some time. It was useful place for enhancing communication skills under professional supervision, but progress has now become stale and even our therapist seems to have lost direction on what next.

To me it is pretty obvious we are at a different stage of readiness. I’ve done the meta-work - and would be ready to go next level.  But CW is still early on with her trauma stabilization and trauma containment work. These are entirely different developmental tasks. So our timelines and needs don’t sync,  and likely will not in many years.

There's really not much i can do besides taking care of myself, GAL and doing random prayers that things somehow turn out good. That's pretty much the only way through this, regardless of result.
