I don't want to go there, her expectations are often so bizarre.
She called yesterday afternoon. She is totally OK with my mail coming to the house (may be even happy about it?). Went into great detatil about how she would be extra careful to separate it and take care of it for me, getting anything that looked important to me quickly. She was obviously surprised I made that move and created that trouble for myself to settle a homestead exemption issue with the county. Thanked me again for things I did for her (yesterday and earlier in the week). I told her I was happy to do them and glad she called when she needed help yesterday AM. Her response was, "really?"
That one comment makes me wonder if she thinks I don't want her anymore/wouldn't take her back after all that's happened.
Overall this past week was a good thing. She had kids alone and OM was out of town (they're not as close as they once were) so she got a good glimpse of what life alone will really be like. I did help her out a couple of times but I also turned her down a couple of times. The contacts I had with her were very positive, helping her out when she was desparate, surprising her with something she really wanted done but couldn't do herself physically.
Time to back off again. It will be easy because I have the kids this week.
"The answers are within you" (can't remember who). Unfortunately, so is the bullshit.
