A familiar story with questions. V

So, change is in the air. Or so it seems.

Since D19 is home from school W has been sleeping on the couch. Well, I guess I should have realized that wouldn't take long to get old.

D15 has a large room with twin beds and this is where she slept at Christmas when D18 came home. Not sure and I'm not asking.

So, going through the morning rituals and in passing, W looks "down". I ask what is wrong, expecting it to be me, and she says that she doesn't have a place here.
Not in a time for me to go run off way, but a whoa is me, way. I replied "Sorry you feel that way." and kept moving.

She continued to mope around until she left for work. This is the first time I have seen W look sad in quite a while. She has been full of confidence and seemingly in charge for several months.

Could this be the start of a sense of Loss?

Are the Ds maybe starting to be assertive that she needs to give the MR a chance? It sounds like D15 maybe told her she shouldn't be in her room? That is the kind of thing that can make a WAW/WW stop and take notice. That maybe it isn't going to be all doves delivering blankets and bluebirds whistling happy songs. Her Cinderella dream of D15 and D19 being supportive and all smiles starts to shatter it can shatter the entire delusion.
