It sounds like you are seeing things well.

Family and friends - most just wont get it. It is so hard to just let her and them have whatever relationship they have. Be it based on fantasy or delusion, it really doesn’t matter. It is real to them. They have to come to see the true as well, and in their time.

So very apt, the alien abduction, so weird. There eyes, facial features, mannerisms; all change.

Mother’s Day. Have something from the kids. And if you want, perhaps a card. Nothing mushy, more generic, no pressure remember.

Have no expectations. She may show emotion, or not, be happy, get angry, or something else - if you give a card or not. Really no way to know. So ensure you are doing what you are fine with, not manipulating.

I best get back to work. smile

Talk soon. Hang in there.

Feelings are fleeting.
Be better, not bitter.
Love the person, forgive the sin.
