Second roller coaster ride (2)

[Card29]

I had a great night with my friend and his parents. Perfect weather, we ate on their patio. Mint/lemon iced tea. Chicken stirfry, rice, apple sauce, and a brownie with ice cream. I ate all of it

I had a phone call with a coworker’s wife who was a paralegal. She told me what the next steps will look like and highly recommended my own counsel. She says I can wait to see what she’s asking for in the D filing.

W finally told her family. As I predicted, her dad called me immediately. He’s beside himself. I tried to keep the convo business like and factual. He was asking a million questions. I answered too many, but deflected a lot. W lied to him about some things, I guess to soften the blow. He asked me “is it mutual?” I said no. She had told him it was mutual. I know she’s been terrified to tell him because he has a tendency to fly off the handle, and she always fears him getting mad or critical. Probably spilled into our R. But why did she think she would get away with those lies? No logic going on with her right now

He asked where S1 has been. I said with me so far, W apparently told her dad we’ve been switching off. *shrug*

It’s going to be a rough ride for her with some of her fam for a while. I removed myself from the family chat. I love them but I’m going to keep my distance for now. If they call, I’ll answer, but I will be careful

Anyway, I had a wonderful night. I’m letting S1 sleep at my mom’s as I left him there before dinner. I feel great right now, i just finished a nice walk with the dog, we’re chilling in bed. Listening to my favorite local sports podcast because they’re funny and cheerful. Just enjoying myself in this moment before the morning nausea hits haha
