Hallzy -

Generally the forum will advise against playing family, etc. This is great advice because so many of us fall into the same familiar LBS traps of holding onto hope then getting punched in the nuts.

If you have achieved a state of loving detachment, you are free to choose what you want to do. Family time or not? Do what you want. Just don't do it with expectations.

As far as playing friends that is a little different. I will say I'm a little alarmed at your W reaching out so often at this time - be wary of any ulterior motives she may have. My guess is she wants to talk about the D.
