I don't know that that is accurate. My mom's email was full of advice for protecting my W legally, and my sister, (whom W works with) has been very supportive.
Now W may "feel" like everyone is against her, but I think it's more a case of feeling guilty. She knows this is going to hurt our children, that it's hurting me, and deep down, I think she might even know it's hurting her. Tough sh#t.
I went out after I got off work to look at bicycles; I've been riding a beat up mountain bike, and wanted to look for something a bit more performance oriented. She got very concerned, asked if I was going to spend money, etc.
When I got back, she had just finished the disastrous call with my SIL (I told her that she didn't have to talk to her, but she wanted to get her "side" of the story out). She said that my brother and SIL were less human than most people.
Then she went into the pity pool and started saying how hard it was to here that I'm thinking of buying a bike or motorcycle when she's going to be so poor. She got really upset talking about it, and then said she couldn't talk anymore and went to bed.
She asked about the sleeping pills I'm taking, (Simply Sleep, over the counter) and if she could take one. I said take two, and she said, "What, so I die?" I said the dosage is two and left it at that. She wanted me to follow her to bed and try to talk more, but I just restarted the movie I had been watching.
She leaves tomorrow for her "Couples Weekend" and I'm glad she'll be gone for 3 nights and 2 days. I really despise drama queen behaviour, and it's a wonder that I've stayed with my W for this long.
