W clarified by text that she needed to talk with me about some things about our kids and I agreed to talk on the phone. On the phone, she told me that she has been wanting to talk to me about her plans to visit our daughter and granddaughter. She told me that this idea is stressful for her, given the difficulties in her R with D. I am aware that there have been sincere repair attempts made by W in this R very recently and also I am aware that D has expressed her need to W for R with her. W said that she had been trying to talk to me about this for a week (I had no idea). W said that my email was not friendly and like something you might send to a colleague that you don’t like. I validated her emotional state and voiced support for her efforts.
W also talked with me about some of her ideas and concerns about our youngest 2 kids. She also showed interest in my day, my family, friendships and work.
I said that I had to get going. She thanked me for the call.
