Act III (3)

[Sunflyer]

It's my sister's birthday today. She forwarded me a couple of texts.

She got a birthday wish from W. What she also got was a text mistakenly forwarded to her from W in which W was telling someone (probably her mother) how much it "killed" her to wish my sister a happy birthday.

W quickly followed up with an apology and how it bothers her that she doesn't have a relationship with my sister anymore.

I say this is a bunch of BS.

I say she is trying to cover up for accidentally revealing her true colors in the first text.

She has been obsessed and PO'd with my sister since the summer; my sister stopped speaking to her when she refused to work with me on improving our marriage.

Her family (except for her mother's sister) has cut my sister and I off entirely as well, which doesn't seem to bother W at all. (Frankly, I've found it great not to have her family living in my head anymore. I rarely think about them except when stuff like this happens). Her mother's sister (they're twins) has remained gracious to me and my sister and continues to send greetings on special occasions.

In divorce, people side with their blood probably 95% of the time. IMO, W should know that.

In addition to "Why won't she talk to me?" regarding my sister, I've also gotten the "I hope we can remain friends" spiel directed at me. Not sure why she cares about whether I'm her friend or not. I can be civil to her, and polite, and will have to be for the sake of our sons. But friends? Not sure I can handle that with someone that decided to burn my family to the ground.

I guess she may be having trouble handling the fact that she made a decision that has consequences?
