Lots lots going on. Talking to L about present reality and how to protect finances, asets and look after self family and home fairly and according to law. Some extra therapy too. It’s helping.
Eldest D (lives out of state) has suffered domestic violence from XH and this came to a head this weekend. I won’t go into it here. XH was arrested and D has retained a lawyer and is going for full custody of granddaughter I will fly to be with them.
This situation has brought W and I together to rally to D’s cause and family needs. D has mostly been talking to me but she did reach out to W last night.
While W and I were talking about D, W told me that this has been a really hard year for W. She said, “It’s been a hard 10 years, but it’s been a really hard year.” I listened. She went on to say that what has happened between her and eldest S (disconnection and him disapproving of her) has been so incredibly hard. I STFU and validated her emotional state.
Youngest D has moved out to a great space and I’m very happy for her. She did stop by last night to say hi and have something to eat. After she left I went over to a friends house for a couple beers.
