Gerda, yes XW did redo the exact same thing when leaving our home as she did when leaving her home as a teen. Both times, she left with the clothes on her back and forgot her purse. No identification, no money, no keys. Strange to see that repeat three decades passed.
In my situation, XW has placed me, and more the kids, into the roll of her parents as she rebels against them (us). The landscape of a crisis is strange indeed.

A vanisher MLCer certainly does provide ample distancing opportunities.
Your H is on a much different trek.

Thank you Gerda. Yes, my life is pretty drama free. Still, things do pop up now and then, the 84th problem parable I do think of when that happens.

I look forward to it.
Eagle, yes XW’s BD was six years ago. And it does appear she is still entangled in replay.
Her new fondness for sharp knives and such is a bit spooky. Son said she had an odd look about her while she spoke of them.

Mom and I are starting to make plans for the trip to Ireland next year. She is (we are) pretty eager to see castles and other landmarks/country side.

I am starting to plan for installing fascia around the roof and it’s four gables. At 35 feet in the air, I’m going to need a lift for the few week of work.
I’ll also make the most of the opportunity and replace the eave trough supports. The original style from the manufacture has a few flaws: single support anchor, top side bracket, and too weak at the central stress point. I’ve designed a bottom support with two mounting holes for more strength and stability. Also the design has a gusset, thicker material, and I’m going to double up the number holders. There is a lot of snow and ice load around here.
Have a great day.

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