I was just getting ready to head out/north when she called me and said, while she 'needs' my help, I shouldn't go now, due to 'complications.' I suspect the appearance of things, about which she is much more concerned than I, is one of the 'complications.' So I won't be offering my suggestions to her, not immediately, anyway. 'Interesting' that I made the suggestion of a 'shrink' for her, to him, years ago, before they were married, I think.

He is stable, and will likely be able to spend a lot of time with the kids.

The kids are doing very well, were when I left anyway, she's a FINE mother, and he a fine father. I am concerned that the 2 year old boy will miss his father A LOT, but it might be that that caused her to waive me off, maybe husband, E, is/will be spending time there, and she doesn't want me to 'intrude.'

His folks are nearby, and have established a great relationship with the boy (and working on the baby girl.) Wondering about Christmas; may be at their home.

I am sorry to hear this, my dear elleng... CaliforniaPeggy Dec 2015 #1
