Letting Go (Saying ILY Pt 4)

[mtb1981]

W just showed up randomly at the house. Wanted to talk and asked me if I was the one that called CEFS. I told her no and to ask them. She said she did, but they wouldn't tell her. They also told her she was going to have to move and they weren't giving her any more aid. She said she was going to have to move into the public housing apartments. She was being extremely nice, asked how my last day at school was, how I was doing, etc. Came inside to see the kids for a bit and fell asleep in the chair after about 10 minutes. I made the kids lunch and told them it was time to eat and she woke up. Asked if she could have something to eat, and I obliged. Then she started looking through all the food cabinets and started filling up some bags. It didn't bother me though because it was all stuff that she had bought months ago and I was never going to use. Went through the freezer, and I guess she didn't find anything she wanted in there. Took some of the decorations and candles. Again, I just let her because I didn't want any of that stuff anyway. Before she left, she asked if I would go outside with her while she smoked. I went out with her and she kept trying to make small talk with me. I jept my responses short. She asked what was wrong, and I told her nothing, that I was just tired. Said she was going to leave and just sat there like I was supposed to say something. I said OK and she still sat there. After a long silence, she started to try with the small talk again. Same thing happened. I kept my answers short and she finally said she was going to leave. She asked if I would answer when she called, and I told her to just text me. This time she actually did...

I don't know if she was wanting me to tell her she could move back in or what. But that's the last thing on my mind. At one point she asked me if I had filed for D.I told her not yet. I plan on it when the L gets back from vacation (this I did not tell her, not sure if I should have or not)...
