Another kind of Love from afar
«

June 08, 2013, 06:25:02 AM »
I have not been active here for a while as things have been quieter for us. I don't support DD who relies mostly on her dad except for the rare phone call. She was visiting for the last few weeks and at times it felt as if she was her old self. If not for the occasional outburst of cursing, the smoking and her unconventional views about relating to people, I could have believed that everything was normal.

DD has been out of any serious relationship since January, which has resulted in less drama and less traveling opportunities. She has also been busy and successful with her studies

busy and successful with her studies - how good is that?
Did you think that your communication with her had changed? Were you able to apply any skills you had learnt here?
