There's an upheaval in the family that is nearly 6 months old now. My husband's sister's divorce has really shaken him up. This is a tight family I've married myself into. I live in this town because his sister moved here, who moved because her mother moved here, who moved because her sister and mother moved here. What's really rocking this family knot is that she's more or less divorced the whole of us, not just her husband. I suspect it's because she's afraid of judgement, but by not talking she's left a trail of nothing but judged steps.
I talked to her for real today, the first time since.
She said she was moving to North Dakota. She hadn't told her brother yet. She didn't seem like she wanted to. Then we talked a while. The weird thing is, I understand exactly where she's coming from. She hasn't said a word to me about the relationship falling apart, or how she's handling it, or anything, but I understand why she's going, and why she doesn't want to talk.
North Dakota in the winter...She's got a rabbit hat, but she's gonna need a whole rabbit suit.
On a lighter note--no pun intended--Today is Balloon Ascension Day. Let it go. Like reading a horoscope, you can make it applicable.
It's also Stephen Foster Day. Go...Ragtime!
