I don't know whether we're piecing or being pieced, but I know the W is p*ssed. And I could use some X-pert advice, pronto.
Long and short of it: BIG sticking point - W cannot STAND (not at all) Merder's parents.
W feels underappreciated by them, mistreated, generally crapped on. Merder's Ps are not particularly sensitive (not Frankenstein, but not Gandhi either, not by a long shot), and have said a number of very asinine things to her over the aeons.
Merder stands accused of letting it all go by - and he's guilty, even though he's done his part to try to fix-it-up. The Ps are not devilish, but they've bedeviled Merder's efforts to structure a mode of understanding between the parties concerned.
Speaking of hell, W's temper about this is something to behold.
How to get past it?
Anyone with experience in forgiveness issues? Merder's a-listening 'till his ears are melting, and then some. Good thing Merder is such a donkey, 'cause there's a whole lotta to hear 'bout this. He just needs some sort of Yoda to guide him through the rocky road to recovery.
