D17 stayed at my parents last night. They are dog and bunny-sitting for me this week, and she stayed to help settle the animals in. I mentioned before that my mom is one person that she feels very comfortable talking to, and Mom confirmed my feelings that D17 was indeed very upset at stbx's behavior on wed. She's lost respect for him, she's angry, she's disillusioned.
She was also upset at herself for telling me about it on my bday. She was worried that she may have upset ME. Mom listened and reassured her, and D17 is in a much better place now emotionally. She and mom went shopping for some extra clothes to keep at my place because she plans to spend a lot more time there now.
I hate to admit it, but I do have a slight sense of smugness that stbx has come down a notch in D17's eyes- and I didn't do a damn thing! He accomplished that all on his own and it didn't take him long. It'll probably take a while for it to register with him how she's feeling since he's in la-la land, but I certainly am going to be trying to keep the communication open with her.
PS- I'm thinking I want to move south after D17 graduates. I like it here.
