Time for optimism ??

Hi Dave,
Sounds like you are still on a bit of a roller-coaster there!

I have had limited contact with W and its worked out that way with schedules and school holidays. It seems the less I see her the better I feel ( now there is something to ponder ) .

I know exactly what you mean. I figured this out last summer when I didn't see W for a month and it was the best month I had had in years! IMHO, it means that your W is in MLC and no fun to be around!!! Don't interpret it for much more than that.

Unfortunately I was left to settle an upset D who wonderered why W left suddenly.

Sorry about that. Seems like your W was feeling lonely and stopped by to refill her tank. When everyone went their own way and did not re-arange their lives for her, her egocentric little MLC Self just couldn't deal with it. Again, focussing on you and the kids is the only productive thing to do.

Take care, SD!
