She moved out...now the work begins...II

Roist & j20...
I know I kind of slipped to the F-Z again, but we have always been husband and wife and best friends...it's hard to totally cut. I did not respond with any personal opinions, I just validated her feelings toward her family situation and told her that it isn't up to me to tell her and her family how to fix things.

Even though I don't want to totally cut ties with her, I do see the validity in doing so to show her that I won't always be there in that capacity, even though we will always have a parental role together.

I had only been to her place 2 times before that and had only stepped right into the door...never went all the way inside. I was kind of shocked when she invited me in. It is a nice place, but I am totally shocked that my W wants to live there. I'm not saying she is snobby, but she likes the nicer things in life. It isn't what you'd call the Ritz. For her to leave our place and want to live there, tells me that she is struggling for sure.
