Nice to hear from all of you, and some great reflections. I'll try to address them
I agree Peter, a glimmer of hope perhaps, and it's the start of a process for my W. And as Zew pointed out I'm not going to be sending an email to her. I'm making my changes, but I'm not sure she's made any. The interesting thing is she keeps asking me to go to MC sessions. I haven't gone, and she is doing IC. This is positive.
Wonka, you are correct and I did feel that W felt she absolved herself of responsibility. As both Zew and you pointed out, I have no intention of speaking to her about treatment options. My concern is really for my kids safety when they are with her. To be honest, they are my singular focus with respect to her Borderline Personality Disorder. I have Starsky Spew Jackets, they do not. I'm also acutely aware that I cannot blame all that has occurred on her recent diagnosis.
She has been sending many texts, about the kids usually. I'm not really responding to them. But this most recent once surprised me. Perhaps some guilt, who knows. She's not going to be here for Halloween, so she may be feeling bad.
Mrs Dev: I'll do and get whatever. I can. I'll be heading out of town on Friday. I don't know if you want to know but I figure I should tell you. Sorry.
I haven't responded to her text. I'm probably just going to send a quick note saying thanks for the offer, but I should be ok. Or perhaps have her pick up one thing the kids need.
It's times like Halloween and the holidays that drive home the new reality of my stitch
