Thank you, Sandi. Went back today to the residence to spend time with the kids. WAW acts cold and can hardly look at me in the eye when talking to me; which I find a bit odd since she should be relieved/happy that she is filing. I played it cool and was friendly and upbeat. Amazingly, a few days ago we were all eating dinner together each night on vaca and laughing; tonight, I am not offered by the family to stay for dinner. How much things change in three days.
Being cool and friendly with WAW's parents, who just enable their daughter's behavior. A part of me blames them for not talking sense into their daughter for impacting now the lives of 2 kids and 2 stepkids. A part of me knows they will side with blood. WAW's father apologized to me and said he did not know WAW would do this. Any advice on how to respond to WAW's parents and siblings? Sandi's rules mention not to talk to parents about it, but what if they approach me?
One piece of advice I have taken from this board is GAL - I have thrown myself into full scale gym and cardio workouts. Exercise is a key I think in DB. I've lost 10 lbs and it is helping me sleep better and curb my anxiety.
Also, any advice on how best to respond when WAW says I am punishing her by not inviting her on next vacation? Thank you.
