Spoke with my parents and sister in a little speakerphone group therapy. They are urging me to bring reality to her. She can't afford her own place. She's not mentally/healthily capable of being a 50/50 parent. She needs to address her health, the thyroid, the fatigue, the drinking, whatever it is that's wrong. I'm bending over backward to shield her from reality and accommodate her fantasy, and even without saying it, I am buying into the plan of S, which currently means limbo until she makes a move.

They also urged me to consult a lawyer.

I'm thinking of writing her a letter. Not pleading for her to come back, but letting her know all of this.
