On the subject of my WW... there is a very strange situation going on with our phones. I can text anyone and receive them from anyone - except my WW. She was here yesterday and showed me some texts she'd sent, and I never got them. But I get texts from any and everyone else, just not from her. She gets mine, but I don't get hers. Really strange...
Do you have an ipad synced with your phone ... I did and a good number of texts went there and not to my phone.

WW: "I'm really overwhelmed right now, you have no idea how busy I am, it's crazy. I love it, but I'm struggling to keep up."
ME: "Can I help you somehow?"
WW: "No, there's nothing you can do. It's all realtor stuff."
"Okay, well, you just sound really stressed. I'm sure it will all work out. You'll be okay. If I can help with anything, just ask."
Dif ... do not attempt to 'fix' nor 'help' her ... just STFU and listen, be the one she opens up to and shares with.

Was just trying to be the lighthouse. Even though her raging storm has only just begun...
Thats all we can do ... Lighthouse/Rock ... what have you ... just something stable as they ride the rowboat in the hurricane
I did like your last response .. fun light and non-threatening.
As far as moving to "Moms" .. I agree with Heavy, I do not think that would be good for you on a couple levels .. but I can also see the urge to go home and lick your wounds, heck if my mom lived here I most likely would have done it .. glad looking back I didn't ... it was not easy, but I did my thing my way.
