I've got two threads running - on in Newcomers and one here. The one in Newcomers is about help with my plan, goals and where I got from here. This one is about W, life and me.

Small update.

Dad calls me today. W has sent him a condolence card and a letter. He was incredibly angry and the letter which he calls arrogant and started having a go at me to tell me W never to contact him again etc. I get him to calm down and by the end of the call he has apologised. No harm done, we're all emotional at the moment.

I asked him what the letter said and he read me two sentences - I told him just to send it to me with the card and I'll put it with the other stuff that is here. I am gathering a portfolio of stuff in case W thinks she can cite me for harassment (I sent her a rose before, and because of the sitch, told her I had done it and couldn't cancel it - she mentioned to one of our mutual friends that it was harassment even AFTER she texted me to thank me for sending it .... ahem ... anyway I digress). The sentence that got his blood up was:

'I am sorry for the delay in contacting you but I have only just been informed'

The informed bit is what annoyed him. Very formal. Very arrogant and while it's difficult to read anything into one word, I actually agree with him.

Maybe reading too much into it but for W this isn't what she'd normally say. Don't know. I get the impression maybe she thought she had a right to be informed.

Anyway, not reading anything else into a word. Just updating the journal. Will see the entire letter when it arrives.
