Ok. I haven't talked MIL I know they talked yesterday and I received a text , "they talked but nothing decided but thinking" and "let her be for now to think."
Idk what they talked about.

Today I received this from W, "how are you doing?" And "guess what, I get to go to school!"
I have not replied....

Me. I'm good. That's exciting to hear.
W. Good. I know that this [censored].
I never meant to hurt you. I promise.
And things have improved between my mother and I, I hope.

I didn't reply to the last 3 texts. I just don't know.

Her mom messaged "she is thinking. And serious thinking. Things may not be bad for you. I'll call later."

Idk what to think yet. Idk how to feel. I don't want to build up hope that isn't really there. To calm myself I've read some more threads here and started DB again.

Turn the focus on you and tell us a little about what you have been doing this weekend...

How are you holding up?


Good that you are reading! Keep reading but also try to find books about personal growth. I will happily recommend some titles if you wish.

BH, I was thinking the same thing as F.

In all of your 11 pages of posts, I believe there is ONE LINE about you.

The rest is about your W.

I am just going to say this again, because I know it's something I need to be reminded of every day, and it's a process getting to a point where one truly understands this . . .

FOCUS ON YOU.

Focusing on your W and every text, phone call and facial expression is not helping you, your W or your sitch.

I was looking for help with replies. I have not initiated contact lately. She has been and it's more the last two weeks. I want to handle it correctly.

This weekend I cleaned the house, went to a bar, helped a friend move furniture, read, took a drive, cleaned the car, and today I slept in late.

Did you enjoy yourself this weekend?
What are you doing next weekend, and the one afterwards?
Are you doing these things alone?

WHAT are you doing about YOU?

BH, I am NOT going to tell what to answer but as I didnt see any questions in the last text, I do not believe there is anything to answer. See it this way: If asked a question then reply to the question, but if not.....
Pull back, but do it nicely!

BH, I would not reply to your W's text about hurting you. Let her sit with that thought instead of turning the attention back to you.

I'm working on me.

She text again today.
Worried about her mom. She's been depressed and fell down. She is seeing the doctor this week.

I'm watching football with friends today. It's nice and it's been awhile. I have a busy week with work and plans with friends. Looks like it'll be a good week.

I'm being supportive to W. She will keep me posted. Asked about my grandmother and her health.

The contact is confusing but communication is good. Trying to do it correctly.
