She's thinking of leaving again 4

[Sotto]

Hi Scrant, sorry to hear about MIL and glad she'll be home soon. I think helping with the car but not going yourself was the right response. It is good to help out in a crisis, but there's a limit to that and I can see you wouldn't want to turn up as 'H' given all circumstances.

Times like this I think WAS's must feel it - they don't have someone fully there 'for them.' Yes, you've lent the car and OM probably being somewhat supportive (as he's still on best behaviour maybe?) But she can't really turn up to hospital with OM and he get welcomed into the bosom of the family, you know? People don't always take kindly to APs and a R that began as an A will suffer that consequence. Yes some people may accept it - but often it's a reluctant acceptance rather than a warm welcome.

Good that your W has noticed some of the social stuff you do and is wondering a little about those lucky Mum's.

Take care xx
