NYS, I'm coming to you w/this because you&I have thought differently in the past and I don't want a "yes man" answer.
I just received an email from W criticizing me & D. Essentially, W says that D's & I are still in denial about W never coming back. D13 told her that she would rather have false hope than no hope. "False hope" is an expression W uses. W says that this thought is so unhealthy that it worries her. W says that she's made a decision to stop trying to protect D's from phone conversations, letters, reading material and doing certain things for them. They need to see her life since all they get is my view of things.
At one time my first reaction would be to defend myself, but not now. I am concerned that W's obsession w/OM will adversely affect D's and certainly affect her relationship w/D's, but there is nothing I can do about that. I could warn her, but that would fall upon deaf ears and throw more kerosene on the file. Should I not respond? Or should I acknowledge receiving the email and thank her for sharing her feelings? Your ideas are appreciated.
