W asked if I had extra wrapping paper and tape. I did, but she would need to swing by here. She said she would and then bailed. Then she asked about tape again, but I was out and about.
Called the D's at 6.. I was at a wing place and again she chewed me out for being with women. I asked if she had tape and she didn't.. I was going to make it an early night, so I told her I could bring the tape by if she would like. She said she'd let me know.
W called and we talked for a bit.. she's going on about how she's depressed etc. Evidently OM was out at a dinner.. that's her sign for lonely. She said she may go to bed early, but she may give me a call to bring over the tape.
Shortly after, MIL calls.. asks if I'm heading over to W's. Told her about our conversation. Evidently, the "friend" that was over the other night was on his way over.. he told W he was interested in her. She was uncomfortable with this but couldn't say no. MIL asked that I go over or she would. I called W and she acted like it was no big deal.. I asked if she wanted me to come over and she said yes. So I did.
I get there, and W is dolled up.. makeup, earrings, and in her pajamas. She's doing Xmas cards and "friend" is there. I don't know what she's thinking.. she has the D's BTW. I took her outside and chewed her out. She was thankful that I was there. I asked if BF would be coming.. she didn't know.. he was mad at her (wonder why?). Her and BF were texting.. I asked if he was coming and she thought he was. Finally, I texted BF and asked if he was coming.. he said he was. When BF showed up, I bailed. He shook my hand and said "I appreciate it".. shoot me now.
I get home and have a long talk with MIL. I think things are finally coming to light for her on this sitch. She is going to demand that she go to counseling. She actually admitted that she didn't think she was being a fit mother. Not sure what good it will do, but I feel it was a good conversation.
After that, I got several texts from BF.. again thanking me.. then saying how much he respected me and the kids. How he understands how hard it is to have another man in his kids lives. If he ever stepped out of bounds to let him know.
I wanted to say several things, but I let it go.
This morning W called.. she thanked me for coming over. Said I could've stayed longer.. I told her "You know I'm not comfortable with that".. She said it meant a lot to her.. I said "You mean a lot to me." She said "And you me"
I can only hope she gets into counseling. I will pursue means if necessary to get my daughters on full custody. She is putting them in danger and it's all because she has no self esteem.
