I have committed to myself that I am not going to do any more to rescue her. She can figure out how she is going to arrange for transportation. She can fight with the insurance company over repairs, etc. I'm not going to rescue her anymore.
In fact, I think this is probably the catalyst that is going to get me moving in terms of getting out of this limbo I'm in. It is obvious she relies on me when it is convenient for her and then gets angry at me when I try to help in other areas, as if it is an affront to her independence or a judgment on her ability to do things for herself. And since she is showing ZERO signs of wanting to work on the M, I think I'm just about ready to drop the rope or whatever it will take to move me on down the road. I'm also tired of protecting her reputation in our community by keeping our separation quiet, all the while potentially damaging my own reputation with others who know about our sitch and may have come to erroneous conclusions because I moved out of the house.
I'm glad to hear this, 2tP, and I hope you'll stick to it. I do think that the call re: the insurance claim would've been the perfect place to start, but I guess there's no time like the present.
THREE car accidents is a bit odd. I'm glad she's okay, though.
