I'm doing okay. Over the last few days there has been social events where W and I have attended. Same crap as always, W trying to be distant but not too obvious. In one sitch I just said, "don't worry, I won't bite". How can a woman, almost 40 be so immature? Oldest two Ks are getting tired with "mommy's" self-centered behavior. Their not buying the "I need to do this so our house will be happy again". S15 said to me last night that the tension in the house is originated from W, D17 called W on a few of her self-centered behaviors on the weekend. I just stepped back and let the two of them "work it out".
Yep, I guess at this point I'm just along for the ride, but I sure wish there was something I could do. W has lost a lot of respect, both from the kids and friends. One friend in particular is of the mind, "I'll listen to (W), but I'm not doing much more than that, (W) won't listen to what I've learned from experience". I had a dream recently where W said, "Why did you let me do this"? I stood there for a minute and then said, "sorry, this one was all you". She paused, than said, "I know, what was thinking"? Some times you can't always rescue those that need help, not if they won't let you.
You've pretty much summed up my attitude. Thanks for checking in on me. LRT? That's my way of life.
