Hello everyone, Well, D14 is back at home and I brought her dog. The house feels much better now! Got a call last night from MIL. My W's Grandmother's birthday (actual day) is today and she invited me and the kids to come to dinner at the home she is staying. W will be there as well. I asked my d14 and she is up for it but D19 can't make it (starting to worry more about her living with boyfriend. She is spending less and less time at either my or W's home and mainly staying with BF and her GF that has been staying with them as her father through her out after grad. Long story there!). I figured why not go. I think it's nice that my D14 goes and she's with me so why not? I handled the party well, I'm sure I can handle this as well. I'm not going to let W stop me from doing things that I want and I love her GM. I've been part of her family for 21 years and I'm not just going to disappear from her life (GM that is)
I just got the notice that W has had her mail sent to her new address. Figured that was coming soon. Hopefully my W won't say anything that is upsetting since we will be with her GM (who still doesn't know about her leaving!). I really need to start doing more "fun" stuff as the last week or so I've really gotten away from it. There is a fun sounding Meetup Friday going to the local horse racing track. Think I'll do that! Also when her mom was at home the last few years, she wouldn't let D14 have friends come over for sleep overs. Part of her "I hate where we live" mindset. I'm trying to get D14 to invite someone over on the weekend. Maybe go to a movie or rent one or something like that. My D is just so used to NOT being able to have friends over she just doesn't think about it.
So, will see W tonight. Only contact I've had with her was a text the other day telling me that gas was really cheap at Sam's Club! I thanked her for letting me know and that was it. Other than when she comes over to pick up "stuff" or the party, I've been totally dark. Let's hope all goes well.
