Well the exchange is over W didn't get to see the student and hardly saw S. Things move on as W's mother is ill in hospital. She texted me to explain the problem and to say that she's worried about her dad. I've been texting her dad throughout the day to express my love and support. I texted her saying I'm so sorry to hear about your Mum. Older people need time to recover and I'm sure the hospital will look after her. S and I have been in touch with your Mum and Dad over the last few days. Look after yourself and, although it is diffficult, try not to worry too much. She's texted back saying thanks and she's hoping to see her Mum in the next few days so could I lend her our car for the long journey? She then said if S and I wanted to come we were welcome. No mention of OM going, she knows I would never go anywhere he is so I assume he's not going. I can't possibly go and S won't want to. The whole situation feels so weird, I can't support W emotionally as I would like as she's with OM now.We have 25 years of history and it feels horrible just texting each other. Don't see what I can do really, ordinarily I would have said no to the car but given the circumstances... Just feel strange and frustrated by everything. Before all this happened I was about to text W to explain finances and remind her of her contributions as finallly after 6 months she has to start to contribute to Son's life. It will come as a shock as she has never lived modestly. Obviously I won't for the moment. Times like these I really hate the OM. Not sure how to respond, so much I'd like to do and say but I can't. Feeling really sad that I can't support W as I would have in the past but that's his job now.
