I left W the "something's gotta give" letter last Friday and left with kids on vacation.
Hadn't heard from W until today (although she has texted and talked to kids)
This morning she calls me and asks for new cell phone. (there's a sale on) She said I would have to order it, since I took away her account privileges. (damned straight I did)
I said I'd look at it.
She called back this afternoon, asking if I'd ordered it. I said no, what's the rush? After complaining about how she couldn't see her phone anymore and blah, blah, blah, she asked if there was a problem with me ordering it.
(is she kidding? I don't give a crap about the sale, and I'm not spending a cent on a new phone for her right now. The gravy train has ground to a halt. I still find her sense of entitlement extremely brazen.)
I calmly said "Yes dear, there are some problems." at which point she hung up on me.
Meanwhile, the kids and I are having a great time. Been to some touristy things they hadn't seen before, we've done a whole lot of swimming and boating, and strawberry picking, and blueberry picking. It's going to rain tomorrow, so that will be time to make pies. (I love baking)
I was afraid that they might mope around and miss their mom, but if they have, they sure aren't showing it. (relief!)
W calling was kind of a downer today. I kind of had her off my mind, enjoying kids and friends and relatives. Her call has had me pacing and racing all day.
Today I had two friends who have known both W and me for over 20 years tell me that I should D her. They are very pro-M and have been following the sitch, talking to both of us. They think she's totally lost it and I should get the kids into a better sitch. Not something I'd expected them to say. Lots of advice.
