should I tell W I am taking them?

GK. Turn off the brain. She said you can have the cats. Stop worrying about what she thinks. You are afraid you may offend her and then she won't come back. Look at it this way. If that is the case, she is pretty shallow.

Well, my initial response is you don't have to tell her anything. If she asks, than tell her. But, there would be nothing wrong or bad with you offering that information if it makes you feel better.

And IMP is right (as he so often is!).

Hang in there!

Hey bambam...I made it to Toronto on Friday and have been having a great time with my friends and family. The cats made it okay too!

I finally received a response to the email I sent W:

Quote:
Hi GK99,

Hope you made it to Toronto safe and sound.

Just wanted to let you know that based on your email I won't be staying at the house.

If I need to go to the house to get something (as I still have personal belongings there) I will let you know in advance of me going.

Have a good stay in Toronto.

W

I was quite shocked at her response to be perfectly honest...

WOW! Sounds like she had a change of heart. No anger there.

That is good.

Enjoy yourself in Toronto. When my dad was alive, we went to Ontario every year fishing. We'd go around Toronto, but I always thought it would be a neat place to visit!

Have a good time, GK!

I'm sure that was a hard email for her to write. It was the right thing though. I will respond to her later today with a simple "thank you".

GK,

Why were you surprised at her response?

GK,
See--it can work. I was stunned at H's response too--and he had been very condescending and MEAN. He's still difficult but not like before.

I do think that boundaries make you more attractive.

I'd say a little more in your email. Tell her you're having a great time!!

I honestly expected her to put up a fight. I think she took so long to respond because she wanted to put up a fight. But she probably realized that my request was not unreasonable.

Hey breton...thanks for the advice. I will definitely add a bit more to my response to her. I will keep it friendly. And I am having a great time here!! I am heading off to Niagra Falls in a couple of days - that's always fun! We were even contemplating a trip to New York City but I'll probably save that for when I move back here.
