After I wrote last night Alex settled down enough to actually talk to me. He told me about an incident earlier in the day where he felt like he was being ignored by Laura (she felt he was chastising her in that earlier exchange). I was able to get him out as he expressed the feeling that nothing (especially Laura) is improving in the last year. I was able to let him know that he isn’t aware of what Laura is doing to keep getting better without giving him any ammunition to try criticizing her in the future. By the time I went to bed late I felt much better than when I wrote last night. Alex and I even had a good time going to The Boys in the Boat together this morning.
In the afternoon I invited Laura to help go through all our DI stuff as we had talked about and now we have clean shelves and more space to park in the garage as we not only went through it but dropped it off at DI.
