He made the first step for me...

Loghead called Loca Grande on Friday to get some information from her about the weekend plans, the skids'insurance and to talk about some school stuff. He never does that, so I totally commend him for that... Then he took it a step further.

I'd told him last Monday about how uncomfortable I'd felt when she dropped off stuff at the house, after dropping the boys at school. I told him that even though it was nice not being in the middle, and not having to deal with the bull%$^ of scheduling and stuff, that I did miss talking to Loca Grande, and I hated the idea that after 12 years we couldnt get along.

He told her that. He told her that I wasn't mad or angry, that I just wasn't putting up with drama any more. He called her on it, and told her she was being a bitch and that she'd pushed away the one person who ever believed in her, her only friend. Loghead reminded her that we still have prom and graduation coming up, and within the next four years, 2 more graduations to share with her. He told Loca Grande that SHE needed to mend the fence, so to speak. "I don't know why Tired likes you, but she does, and you don't want to lose that. You better fix it."

My jaw hit the floor when he told me what he'd done. I couldn't believe it. He said she was pretty silent the whole time he talked and at the end of his speech, she just said to him, "You're right."

She hates admitting he's right. That had to have killed her.

It's good to know Loghead does listen and he does have compassion for the things I go through. I think he knows how easy I made things for him all these years.

And it's good to know she'll be making efforts to be nice, and I didn't have to be the one to "cave" and extend the olive branch.

TS -- Good for him, and good for you.. It is so nice to read that he realizes the effort you have given all of the years...After 12 years together my DH is finally realizing what I have been through also.. Unfortunately our BM hates my guts... Because I will not as long as there is breath in me let her roll over us..

TS, No I am not a doormat either that is the problem with our BM, she is used to leading DH around by the nose.. I just would not take her shiot... And for that reason she dislikes me.. I have tried the friend thing once, she asked me to forgive her for all she had done, and I did. And things were better for awhile, until we DH and I did not agree with her and WHAM kicked us square in the teeth again... But Karma or whatever you want to call it is a bitch... And I have seen her get hers... Does that make me Joyful... no actually sad, that she hasn't learned you reap what you sow in this life...
