Thanks much for your insight, Faith. I really appreciate it.
Not gonna believe this, but W just called me again saying she was in pain, and could I come over and take out the trash. Then she asked me if I could go with her to the doctor appointment. THEN she started saying how sad and depressed she was and how horrible she felt and started listing a host of things she was unhappy with -- her weight, the outcome of her boob reduction, the fact she can't exercise while she is recovering, her increased appetite, her excessive workload, her lack of any leisure time or rest time, all the effort of parenting the kids on her own, her therapist not being helpful for her. HOLY COW, SHE'S A MESS!
I told her yeah I would feel depressed too if I was experiencing those same frustrations. Then I told her I hoped she felt better and I would see her tomorrow at our family party for D5's birthday and ended the convo. Tried to empathize, but not play the rescuer role. Is that more what she needs from me??? Thoughts???
