When W was leaving she smile and said "have a good dinner at my Dads house, better you than me". She still lives with this belief that they are judgmental jerks. They can't understand why she has so much anger. I can't either.
She came back a little later to drop off some medicine for D13 who has a sore throat. I asked her if her friend she's living with is making a dinner and she told me that she was over with her daughter at her ex husbands house. How weird.
So I said "So you're home alone" and she says in her pleasant voice that "Yeah, that's ok though I have a lot to do today."
OM's truck is there. I almost said "Yeah, right"
She has no remorse, she isn't in a fog. Maybe financially her life isn't do great and she is working harder than she ever has.
But she doesn't have to 'take care of frank' and she has a man-boy who in all likely hood worships her because he's lucky to have anybody.
This is Thanksgiving 2008. I really don't want to be nice to her. I really don't.
