Familiar path, new approach (pain18 DB VII)

[Phoenix9]

Question for you all: When W is so involved with OM's friends and children, how should I handle it? Is she just that deep into her own fog? I know it's not good at all, but hopes for a happy ending dwindle each day. This would just be another pin that gets knocked down.

She's making herself look like an ass. She has justified it a million times in her own head and has surrounded herself with enablers. You don't need to bring it up to her, but if she ever brought it up to you You just be clear about what's right and what's wrong in reasonable tone.

I'm not going to point out anything to her. She is not my problem. She told me as much. Let her fall on her face.

W asked me about my decision about our "living situation"

If you have decided to be at home full time, and I hope you have, then tell her and move forward. No sense in dragging this out.

I told her that I'm staying home. I did not go any further.

I did say that I will out of the house more doing more stuff

Sounds like appeasement to me.

NGS.

Still, it's progress.

Much better, but still a lot of work to be done. Thanks ovr.
