When is kindness enough?

[Ripe]

Thanks, 2Times.
I had never thought about it like that: it's W loss she doesn't want to spend her life with me. I will start repeating that to myself.

Anyway, yesterday I dropped the rope.
I talked to my SIL and she is also dropping it. We both are. It was devouring us and it is time to let go, for our sanity sake. We agreed to not touch this issue any more, to stay in contact as good friends we have become and, not forgetting, close relatives.

Later on, I talked to my Mother. It felt good, very good.
Now everyone knows but the kids.
The plan is to tell them as soon as we are back. It's a nice motivation to start the new school year, isn't it?

Well, today is my kid's birthday.
He is the one who matters.
