Trying to move on

[ClingingToHope]

W called last night. She talked to the girls for a couple of minutes then asked for me. She was sent a $206 check -- in her name -- for my tooth implant. An old root canal snapped off in November and I had to pay $2,000 and have another $300 left to pay for an implant.

She then gave me advice on getting the claim and submitting it as a basketball injury and maybe I'd get reimbursed some more. She had a freudian slip at one point saying, "this might help us."

At the end I said thanks.

I swung by the house -- after I thought she would have left -- to get the check. She was there still -- late to work?? -- and handed me the stuff. I was so shocked she was home I didn't give her the big smile. I just took the check and left.

Also, last night, the girls and I had another long talk on what's going on. The "fun" of having two houses is wearing off for D7. She said several times this weekend she wants me to move home. They did not know W asked me to leave last year. So I told them the abbreviated timeline and that yes, W asked me to move out.

I told them now I wish I hadn't, but we'd make the best of it.
