I noticed some things that youngest D had written down on a piece of paper and left on the table after visiting with W:
W explained to D her reason for leaving me now - she was married and unhappy for 23 yrs and can’t be unhappy for another 23. She’s never had the opportunity to leave before with youngest D and youngest S struggling. W said “I need to be happy” W feels she’s “terrible” around/to me.
W’s intention: - be happy - not trying to lose house/divide assets (contributing money monthly) - still be in relationship with her kids (her favorite people) - if D and S move out we’ll probably sell the house
Seems to me like a lot of heavy loaded info for W to lay on D. And W projecting her plans / outcomes.
I plan to continue to be there for D and have an open heart to support. Don’t plan to get in the way of or take responsibility for their relationship.
