Better late than never?

W called me today and we talked for an hour. Longest in quite some time.

Yay!!! Sounds like you guys are really working on the friendship phase.

So of course he's bombarding her at her new number. Hopefully she can change it again without being charged. I listened an told her I'm really sorry she's going through this.

Great affirmation on your part. And hopefully she also is more determined to get him completely out of her life!

I wasn't aware that SIL knew about OM. And it sounds like W's family is very worried about her, just like I am.

Interesting and good. Hopefully your W realizes that all of you have good intentions and are trying to support her. Probably a lot better that SIL did it rather than you though lol.

Very surprised that she told me all this, but I just listened and affirmed.

Yay!

Really had to bite my tongue on that one, but fortunately I did. I'm glad she's still interested in my life. Her tone is extremely condescending when we talk about job stuff, but honestly it's somewhat deserved.

It's tough to have your nose rubbed in stuff like that, but I'm glad you were able to control your reaction.

In other news, I passed my audition, and I start with the band on Sunday! I'll be on a couple nice keyboards and a real B3, for any musicians out there

I'm a violinist, so keyboards mean very little to me. But congrats!

I'm not telling her any of this for a while though, because she thinks I'm all talk, no action as it is.

Exactly right - actions ALWAYS speak louder than words.

It sounds like things are progressing slowly but surely. Keep up the great work and enjoy the person you are becoming.
