W was at the house last night dropping of S and started telling me about blowout with MIL. They have only lived together for 6 months now and its gone from the last 2 years of MIL being the most important opinion in W's life, to now they can't barely stand each other. Don't really know what to make of it but its one more person she is scrubbing from her daily life. Also, she is flipping her plan upside down again. Now she is trying to save money to get out of MIL's as soon as possible and planning to switch jobs again. These two decisions have changed several times in the last 2 months. She can't seem to make up her mind. With all that is going on in her life she is always in a bad mood it seems and I believe its starting to affect S. Wasn't a comfortable subject to broach but I told her with everything going on and the amount of stressors on her, even when S around, she might want to see counseling. She did not like the idea but reluctantly agreed.

I still feel like I don't get enough space from W day to day. She is usually on there 10 - 30 minuts a day when I get home but its the consistant seeing that feels like we don't get away from each other. Things will be easier I think in a couple weeks when school gets out and there is no reason for her to come and go daily.
