So WW called back an hour after that first call, this time in tears. Guess I should have expected as much. So we talked a few more minutes, much more calmly this time. I tried to validate but told her I didn't appreciate the hypocrisy of someone who had lied as much as her accusing me of breaking promises. Anyway, in the end I sent S18 over with $60 to help her with food for the week. I have been providing dinner for the kids every night and told her that this money came with the expectation that she would be making dinner for the kids on nights she had them. I also said that was it for this week, and we could talk again next week, depending on how the next few days went. She seemed satisfied, gave me a thank you, then had to go because OM was trying to call.

I went ahead with my plans for the evening and met nephews out of town and took them to dinner. After, we went to a bar and they bought me a couple of drinks. These nephews are her sister's kids, btw. I tried not to give them too many details but they know the basics and both of them are extremely upset with WW. One of them says he refuses to see her or be in the same room. He recently had a long term girlfriend leave him for another guy, so the situation is very sensitive to him and he has no respect for anyone who would do that kind of thing. Overall, I had a good time, then headed home. I feel bad for my W, as she has lost most of her family connections and they have all sort of piled on my side. That wasn't my intention but a result of them forming their own opinions after they heard the news. And I don't feel that I should need to break off from that part of my family just because they are related to WW. I have known them over over 20 years and consider them just as much my family as hers. I've known my nephews since they were 5 years old. Again, the whole thing is just sad.

WW did call very briefly while I was out tonight to ask if I had checked on S16 and S10, who didn't come to her place. Told her I had not, so she was sending S18 home to check on them. The whole convo only lasted a minute and I wished her a good night and hung up. Tried to sound in good spirits, while she sounded a little stressed.

So anyway, I was peeved enough that at least I'm not feeling down tonight. I know the anger isn't healthy but it's such a relief from the constant sadness that I wish I could hold onto it for a few days. Right now, I really am feeling like I just want to totally let go, file, and move on. Let her enjoy the life she has chosen, along with all of the coming pitfalls. But I know that within a day or two, I'll probably be wishing she would come to her senses again. It's so hard to let go, and she doesn't deserve me even giving her another chance. No idea what I'm going to do next but hoping for a peaceful night sleep NOT thinking about WW.
