Thanks for the insight. I struggle to rationalise Sandi's cake eating stance. Part of me wants to be unforgiving at times and say no to everything - I don't of course, I am learning to detach so I don't need to even feel these things.
I guess in terms of the family going round, I did totally love my W and her family. They were as much mine (or so it felt) I have actually moved a long way from my own parents etc to be here and now can't move back realistically - as I won't see the kids as much. I can go back to see my parents lots though - which is great. There are certain people in her family I won't miss. There's also an awful lot of drama in her family so I can happily say goodby to that.
Thanks again.
