W is very down and has said she will not drink again until the New Year - we shall see.
She rang me 3 times in the day.
One to vent her frustrations about her mother who will not contact Hospice nurses to look after FIL when he comes home - they are hoping he will come home tomorrow but will need homecare and MIL is not up to it.
W still said I made took her Birthday from a day which was just about ok into the worst night of her life - I have stopped saying sorry, defending my actions or justifying the stance I took about the taxi driver. I just said I wish things had happened differently and I cant change what happened and I understood her feelings.
NB I have started a process to report the taxi driver to the authorities for inappropriate behaviour - W does not know.
As far as I am concerned he took advantage of a vulnerable drunk,solo female passenger to get personal details. By the end he had W's age (her birthday), date of birth, first name, phone number and address.
Anyway later W rang to say sorry for 'making you feel bad' - so that is progress.
I gave W a shoulder rub at 6:45am before work - she was weeping because SIL had changed her profile picture on FB to a picture of her father.
Last night I gave her another shoulder rub and pulled my fingers through her long hair - she is still v v down, depressed and sad, but accepts my shoulder rubs etc without question - she just doesn't want hugs as they trigger tears, sobbing etc.
