I like the sounds of that. I think I took my W off her heels when I asked if she was alright. She didn't really know what to say. I have ways to go before I get to your level, or should I say she has a ways to go. Feeling just really good about me right now. Nice weekend planned, seeing friends , visiting and relaxing. Feel good about calling her on two levels, asked for my money and gave into nothing (couldn't have done that without the past meltdown, I would've buckled)and I showed real concern for her health and that she was OK. Its the first time I asked her how she is doing at any level since this began.
She talked to me about all her financial woes. She is in something wicked. I cannot give in though. This is a demon she has to struggle with in her world. I feel bad, but if I take the doormat path, I will have undone everything I have wrestled with til now. But i do feel good about me and who I am right now. I am sure she will call me for help in one or two of these financial crushes. I don't have it to give. But I think she has softened to me with my asking about her way ahead of any money. She is definitely in a frazzle, sounded really, stressed. she usually blows me off when I talk to her at work, especially when its about money, but she was wanting the conversation to go on. told her I would talk to her late and said bye. I have no intention of talking to her later. That is a call she will need to make.
