My W has gone for her second round of cosmetic surgery today. I have dropped her at the clinic. This is a normal piece of manipulation by the MLC'er, or, I'm just being my usual self (nice). I have the kids for the next two and half weeks, so I also have W's new car.
On the way to the clinic, we chatted. No R stuff. It's the most conversation we've had for nearly two years. It was friendly, and she even laughed at one point. She seemed genuinely interested in my convo. Again, could just be manipulation as I'm dropping her off.
The only time she got prickly was when I asked what she was having done. She claimed she is having her scar tightened, but the recovery time isn't long enough, but it does match the time for a boob job.
I can see that it is full MLC at work. Whilst I was at the house, she went to the toilet, and I overheard her talking to herself about not feeling old etc. She also relayed that one of her clients (hairdressing) had died at 65 through ill health and that she wasn't much younger (13 years actually!). I also noticed she has multiple credit accounts with department stores and car companies, so I guess that is how she is financing her spending.
She also mentioned that the council would now be leaving her in the homeless house, instead of getting her something bigger. My D had already told me this, but she also told me that 'Mummy had to decide'. Hmmmm......is she poking my buttons to see if I react?
SD is also coming to stay, so W will be completely alone during her recovery time. Whilst normally I would say this is manipulation, how can I move the situation on without communication? Not sure if this is right path.
