Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
S24 wasn't home when I got there last night as he was helping out at his friend's restaurant. I was annoyed because on the counter were the two beer mugs that his mother had been trying to sell online out of OM's house. After giving it some thought I put them up in his room where they would be obvious. A presumably clear signal that I didn't want to see them but that if he wanted them, that's fine by me. If that creates awareness that I have some intel on his mother then so be it. I'd thought of just ignoring them but really it doesn't make any difference to me if he or his mother knows that I get information. I did notice that the paper towel holder he'd had in his room for well over a year that was a gift to his mother from her mother wasn't obviously visible like it has been. His room has actually been clean and tidy for over a week. I do wonder what changed.
Another other small world thing happened. I noticed that SIL2 was facebook friends with B's S38. So I asked. It turns out that they used to live together. Oddly a few months ago I don't believe that they weren't FB friends - just since he broke up with his current girlfriend. I just responded to SIL2 "small world". S38 has "problems" and undoubtedly has had for quite some time. I do hope that SIL2 is keeping her distance. I let B know about the connection and asked if she had met SIL2 before. There's a family event the first weekend of August hosted by SIL2 where B would be meeting the family. I'm glad that this info was found before hand. It could have been "very" awkward otherwise. There's a longer story that is none of anyone's business here that makes me concerned that they have that connection. B and I will have to have a talk later. She's "up north" right now and sent me a picture of some loons floating on the lake in front of what is / used to be her home there. She misses it.
Well - let's start fresh and look towards the future and not the past.
Some changes are undoubtedly on the way with S24 now being mobile, B perhaps getting closer to a settlement, me maybe getting a new job.
