Thanks Sunrise for your comments. You are right, I'm not sure I can trust her. Time will tell on that one.

This morning before she left for the airport, she said that she has much more clarity on her role in my issues.

I talked to my husband a little bit this morning. He was pretty shocked when I said 'so, how come you haven't told me that you and my family are having private discussions about me'...

He was silent for a minute and then said 'well, they come and ask me how you're doing and voice concerns. I never tell them anything bad though'...yeah okay. I don't believe this one for a second.

Truth? My husband sort of does to me what my family has been doing. He denies this emphatically of course. But for a second he and I locked eyes and he now knows that I know.

I'll be making my own plans for the future.
