My current thought on the citizenship thing - is that telling her now that I will not attend will give her time to think about it. I know she will beg at first. She will want DD to be there even if I refuse to go - but it will be hard for her to go with DD (without me).

If I then end up going, she can be grateful (fat chance) - and if it's really important, it will put some pressure on her to capitulate (almost no chance).

But it may be my only chance to put pressure on her - and distance myself.

ok, AD,

But, trying not to project my faults onto you...the thing is, if you say you are not gonna go, and then you go...well that's not showing consistency. My bad, and I don't want it to be yours. I see where you are coming from...

But, won't a Plan B letter let her know that you are not going, if you are not to have any contact. Too iffy, I guess, for your most recent scenario of "what if".

Not funny? Me? Not funny? Who are you kidding? Everybody says I'm funny! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, I know, I'm sooo serious.

Well, OK, gotta make that call - wake up WW to tell her I'm not taking DD to music tomorow. Or, should I just do it tomorrow ('cause I said I would) and then say it's the last time?

What'ja think, JLS.

Of course I was typing - and watching TV and reading another thread and cooking and drinking tea and ...

No, I was just sitting here deciding that calling WW at 11:45 would probably precipitate a long long serious of more phone ringing etc and it would be "prudent" to just do the wednesday thing one more time and then stop.

I so know what you mean about action. I hate making up my mind, finally , about something, and then not being able to follow thru immediately. I never said that I was patient, did I?!

It's midnight here (almost). I should call?... to tell W something she's not going to like? You don't know my WW. She will probably blow a gasket - then she will start going on and on about something. Eventually I will hang up on her. Then she will call back repeatedly until I eather turn off the phone or answer. No, not tonight.

Sorry, I was reading 2Long's thread. Redhat was there and I had invited them both over here, but they never showed. They're still spitting wisdoms at each other over there.
