Thanks, again, all. Neffer, thanks for the insight. I talked to my C today and we made a plan for telling D. Since I don't really HAVE any emotional backup, D is going to come to one of my sessions next month, right before my weekend, and we're all going to have a conversation about it. This gives us time to talk about it, and get back to "normal" the next week. I think it's a good plan, we'll see how it goes.
V: absolutely, I took off work on Monday and I'm going to take D out for the day since school is closed.
Just need to journal this. Went to the movies tonight with GF, so I called D early rather than waiting for D to call me. XW actually took the phone from D and hung up on me at once point because OM called. D called back a couple of minutes later. More of XW talking for D. I'm trying to just ignore it. If XW talks for D, I just ignore her and tell D whatever it was that I had just said/asked.
D sounds a little upset at one point, I ask if she's ok. XW starts going on about something D's cousin did. I repeat, asking D if she's ok and she says "no." XW gets irate and tells her mother, who apparently is there, "Can you believe this, he asked her if she's ok and she said no, this is BS." Since things are obviously getting bad, I tell D that I'm going to go, have sweet dreams, and a good night.
A few minutes later, XW sends a text: "She is fine, EastTN! Stop acting like I am not her mother!"
I think I've reached the point of acceptance of "this is what it is, it's not going to change, and there's nothing I can do about it, so just stop worrying about it."
