Thanks for your words of encouragement and the kudos. The latter really is something I owe to everyone here for the guidance!
I think it helped that I was taking the call by the front door of the restaurant. Actually I felt pretty good about things once the convo started. Dreaded the start... but felt good after I read my text and she started venting.
Alex, I feel good. Not sure if that is surprising or not given what I heard. Although her words sounded definitively final, I was ok. The convo ended, I went back to my table and had a sip of wine and I think I had a smile on my face!
More fun later in the evening. I called MIL. Turns out we chatted for an hour. W had NOT told them of her A like she had indicated to others she had. In fact, a lot of what W had told me about how MIL felt given what I was doing was LIES. MIL encouraged me to call more frequently.
Ahhhhhhh. For whatever reason, I am at peace with myself right now.
