She's not really angry at me anymore about it. She's angry with TM.
Yes, I definitely have a connection with her. But I'm also aware of how this whole D situation has messed with me and am aware of the need to be careful.
I had a long conversation with TM today. Summary is, she thinks W has made extremely poor choices (actually has said she's self-destructing previously; she told W she was going to regret D and tried to talk her out of it), and her behavior has changed over the recent months. She said that when the kids get together, the boys are better behaved with me, and that they all (I guess meaning including the triplets) prefer it when they're with me. And she in the end said she prefers my friendship over W's anyway, that we are much more on the same wavelength.
She also said that, speaking just in general, she's not feeling compelled to be in any kind of relationship. That's kind of good news. There is definitely connection and affection, but if this is a friendship for a good while, that's much more my speed at this particular moment.
Funny - when we all first met years ago (local multiples group), she says they were puzzled about what I was doing with W. Meaning, I suppose, something like she was kind of a mess and I - what - wasn't I guess.
