thinking on new life w/o X

[forward]

I am happy to report that X is paying more attention to D. He actually volunteered to pick her up and I truly hope that he demonstrates some consistent interest.

But I feel sorry for New Woman as X spoke of "sacrificing his health for other people." I hope X is not making New Woman feel like a burden during what are likely her last months.

This was not the way he was earlier...was it? Sometimes I wonder if I wasn't seeing things clearly to begin with.

I do know that caregiving is a difficult situation, but I guess I also see it as part of life.

At any rate, maybe there is an MLC and maybe X is growing up some and coming out of it, at least in terms of being interested in D.
