Went with W to pick D up at the train station an hour & half south. Pleasant, low key ride down and fun ride back. Something to be said for experiencing new things together, even in the current sitch. D turned 17 today so planning a family dinner for later the holiday weekend. No R talk, no M talk.
Gave W money to get her through to payday after she pays her rent. First time she ever explicitly told me that her pride didn't want to let her ask for help. She can afford her apartment, only if she's VERY careful and nothing unexpected happens. Next'll be tires for her car. I offered to buy her the urgent groceries she needs.
Asked W if she had any plans for the 4th and mentioned a new park nearby that I'm going to check out over the weekend. I didn't pressure her for a response, and she didn't reply. D was out of town with S and had a fun trip. Always good to hear the girls (W&D) catch up, since as the Dad there are always topics I don't know or feel queasy discussing.
We'll see how the weekend goes. She hasn't asked about the lawyer for now.
