Yesterday I get a call from my Dad. Not really surprising as the compressor for the AC on our half of the building is out and he has been checking on me daily. I have a fan.
Anyway he said he had spoke with my brother and he told Dad about D13 saying how s16 was hitting on her Sunday but I didn't do anything. How sad she was. Dad agreed with me that they were just being siblings. I did say that she tends to journal more on FB. Anyway Dad said that ex said she should call him and he will take care of it.(Whatever!)
So I wrote something in reply to her feelings. Then I read all the comments. She mentioned being a mess since the divorce, more emotional than she would like and how she still hates seeing her family torn apart. We have been divorced almost 4 years.
So I took a deep breath and replied to the divorce comment. I let her know how hard I tried to keep us together but that doesn't always work. As a family the needs of the many out weigh the needs of the one. I told her it was okay to be sad sometimes as I am sometimes too. I told her how hard I worked to get them to where they are now and that I knew we were going to be fine. I said I would always be there for her and that she could always talk to me about anything.
I had gone through a tough period with the boys when this all happened. They were teens then and had enough on their plate to deal with. D13 and D11 were younger and for the most part seemed to let it roll off their backs. Seems as if it is coming back to bite us all in the hiney again. I can get us through this.(fingers crossed).
