It's the same process here and weighs into D later of if it goes there. So you think it's a good thing? I guess it's much better than D. It's not final, but a good way to S, like a trial D.
Today I met with W's father for lunch. His reaction was a little unexpected. He basically met me to gather some information I think and to tell me he's sorry for me etc. I was very calm and didn't talk bad about W or whatsoever. I didn't offer any details and kept the information very general. I think the talk went very well. He is an incredibly genuine, smart and very reasonable man. I let him talk most of the time. He actually told me if he was me (even as W's dad), he'd run away and start fresh. He found out about OM and he is humongously disappointed by his daughter. You could see it in his eyes, his heart was broken into pieces. It was even painful to see. He said "good luck W to find a better man than you are". We almost both started crying. That was very kind of him. Of course he understands we can't control her and all that and he advised me not to kill myself over her and find a point where it gets unhealthy for me where I give up on her. Not sure how he will deal with W now. So far they didn't have contact after she told him. He is aware that W looks pretty bad in all this now and that she is under a lot of pressure. I don't think he knows what to do, he has to let this sink some more I'm sure.
I feel ok, happy with how the conversation went, it was very sad tho I'll stay out of this for sure..but W will have to deal with this now..and it probably won't be easy...
