Just had a convo with my D and she told me that SIL sent an attacking email (probably while drunk as that's what she does sometimes) to the W 10 minutes after midnight at the end of the W's b'day telling her exactly what she thought of her and how she was messing up,so many people's lives. Apparently they haven't really spoken for the last 2 months. That means my W has her mum (who she can't stand) and my D (just about, but all her friends say she shouldn't) who talk to her now.

I was told by quite a few even pre-BD that my W was "difficult to get on with" now I am starting to see why and how her world is shrinking.

There's probably going to be an almighty mess at some point and my D is dreading it as she'll be the one who'll have to pick up what will by then be my XW. Soap operas never end well and this is one hell of a soap opera, glad I'm on the outside looking in.

The convo. overall made me smile and feel a bit sad too.

I am seeing my L about the fins this week and think I've found a solution that's quite simple to make happen quickly. Might even have the D done by December, if it's something that is ratified as being sound. It feels weird saying that (never thought I'd think this way) but liberating all at the same time.

I truly know that I will be fine and that my life will be something even more special in the future, regardless of what happens.
