Don't want to ignore rky's post but had a weird day.... My W came over today to pick up things she needs for her new place. Turns out she also was planning on taking my D14 back with her but never told me until she was here. She said she thought my D would have said something to me. In the future she needs to let me know when she plans on taking her as I had plans to take D and a friend to movies tomorrow. Turns out she wanted her so she could take her to her company picnic tomorrow. Last year both D's refused to go with her when they found out I wasn't invited. She didn't realize just how angry they were that she had refused to do anything with them for the last 3 years and I know that upset her. My D said she doesn't "think" she will go again this year. We will see.
The day went well. I was upbeat and helpful. I put together all the cables she will need to hook up her TV, gave her a surge protector, helped her pack, etc. She thanked me several times for being so nice and helping her. She also tested me with trying to take certain things and telling me how she thought certain things "belong" to her. I just let it go. I wasn't angry and we talked. I told her about some of the things I've been doing and I swear she doesn't like my GAL activities. Why that is I can't understand as from the start of all this she kept telling me I needed to do more things outside the family away from home.
I'm proud of how I acted, my ability to not get angry and really just be nice but not too much so. I'm dropping the rope and letting her have what she wants. tonight is my d's first night at my W's new place. I hope she is comfortable but not too much so! I suppose I'll need to get over that soon.
W just called and asked for my help as the TV wasn't working. Turned out that it was just a loose cable but was glad I could help her and D out.
