Still drinking.
That will not change.
BUT
I did get a chance to get her aside , without Ian , to talk some 'girl' stuff.
I asked about her date and her vacation.
He sounds like a wonderful man. I saw him get out of the truck when they left and he is
really nice looking. But then again, MIL should be a model her self. Together they are a very physically attractive couple.
She said they spent 6 hours one day just sitting ina bungalo ( sp?) on the beach.
Another day walking through the small shops close to the condo they rented and had wonderful dinners.
She said that she was very frank with him about her grieving. Apparently he is newly 'single' too.. but I think he is single from divorce and not death.
I can tell by some of the things she said to him that she was MORE honest with him then she is with us.
I find that a Huge plus.
She seems so happy lately. And every time I see her I tell her how happy I am for her and how nice it is to see her feeling better and having a life outside of her bedroom.
I am hoping that this is a new development in the right direction.
Now... to tell her that we are moving..
Im hoping that will make her even happier. Truthfully.
