Well, I saw W today. My plan was to stay absolutely dark, but it couldn't be avoided because my in-laws' plans changed and I had to exchange D.

She asked if she could stay for a while, and I said no. She apologized for arguing with me 3 days ago. I nonchalantly said "OK". She also told me that she's isn't pregnant (which is truly a great relief to me) and I said "OK". She asked why I am so mad at her that I won't talk to her and said that she didn't want us to be mad at each other. I told her that I wasn't mad at her -- I just didn't want to talk to her anymore. I told her that I had explained why in the letter and email I sent her. She seemed genuinely hurt and confused. A part of me wanted to reach out and hold her, but I didn't let it show. I just said, "Well, I think you should be going now."

My demeanor during all of this was brusque and matter-of-fact, but not angry. Overall, I'm pretty proud of myself.

The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." (Psalm 145:18)
