The regulars here know my history.
I was married to an abusive, manipulative spouse who also emotionally abused and neglected the kids. We’re almost two years separated. One kid is a teen the other is a young adult. She doesn’t have many old friends left. A lot of them reached out to me after our separation. They’re all family people, and our kids are fully with me. Tonight something occurred to me for the first time. What if she calls or shows up because she has nowhere to go? She hasn’t held a job or earned enough to live off since 2010. Someone is paying her bills and at some point that could collapse. What if she calls because she’s gotten a bad prognosis, diagnosis, health scare, etc, and no one around her cares? What if she’s called because she’s lost someone she loves, possibly someone we have a mutual connection too? I think I need to have a planned or rehearsed response. I’m a pretty soft hearted person. I can be manipulated in these situations. Thanks RDMercer |

It is a great idea to plan ahead and release your response. I do not know the details because I have not read the long threads but based on thr synopsis you provided, it is wise to develop a strategy now when it is all hypothetical.
