After much deliberation, it occurred to me that the conversation needed to be journaled for my own thread. Wrote it up on the flight home, not quite word perfect, but here is the gist of it. Over dinner, NG and I drifted into some A talk
Me I think I can understand why you tried to maintain some sort of contact with OW NG Why do you think? Me To keep tabs on what is going on with OW and her H; this latest revelation about his bankruptcy must no doubt have repercussions on their family NG Right. I just don't want to be blindsided. As it is, every time they have a crisis, I get calls from both of them, within minutes of each other Me Surely OW must interpret the fact that you are there as the A continuing? NG How can she, when the discussions are platonic? That I'm just there to help them sort themselves out. This is why I wanted OW's sister to be in the loop, so that there is someone sensible to help these people figure out what they are doing to their kids Me Surely parents will know best?
