I'm not really sure I understand what a friend dying has to do with the well being of your kids unless death was rolling across your state and she wanted to warn you. Yeah, I'm being a smartass - clearly a sympathy text and you were very kind.
And I wouldn't think it were OM, could be one of his parents. Do you think she'd be able to function if it were him? I hardly think she'd lean on you.

I just don't have it in me. She managed to crush all of it by her behavior this past 2 and a half years. Just blank...nothing there to offer her. Maybe one day it will be different, but for now, it's an empty tank and I have no desire to even fake it.
Yes you do have it in you. I understand you can't be cruel, but you still stop long enough to consider feeding into her manipulations. Just asking you to consider what you really feel and don't try to talk yourself in or out of anything. Your actions can reflect what you want, but do try to sort out your feelings. Those 2 quotes are a bit opposite of each other.
