What to do next

[JustStunned]

Journaling: I’ll contact W tonight and arrange for her to sign the tax documentation. I’d like to get that over with before she speaks with her L.

Our D went to dinner with W and one of the SILs. She came by the house afterward. She wanted to vent, and I probably should have let her more than I did, but I didn’t feel I could deal with the drama last night. Our D has several other support structures available and I know she uses them.

She told me on the way to the restaurant she and the SIL spoke and she told SIL she does not like the personality W is presenting to her. She was worried she may have said too much to the SIL. I told her she was honest and she feels how she feels. W is not acting very rational right now, there is nothing to be done but wait it out.

Intellectually she know this, but part of her wishes I would fix it. I had to tell her fixing it too many times is how I got into this mess and asked if we could avoid talking about W/this sitch until another time.

We should not involve the kids, but they are adults and need to talk it out also. It is a tough line to walk. I’m doing the best I can.

W sent over some flea preventative. It is not what we used to use. It is not what the vet recommended. It is about a third of the cost and is not designed to protect as well. I thought about giving it back and telling her to assuage her guilt some other way. Pretty snarky I know.

I found the receipt in the bag, so instead I will return it and use the credit to purchase what we know works well. If W asks about it I’ll thank her for the store credit and I’ll tell her what I did with it, else I won’t mention it.
