Ronnie came home from work so tired, but so upset, still. 3 hours of sleep since yesterday

Grief, sadly in my experience, drives families apart more effectively that anything else (including bad divorces). Ronnie's daughter sounds like she has issues and sees you as competition for her father's affections. She may be a grown adult, but she is still behaving like a needy little girl. Blended families are so difficult to manage, there is always a range of so much emotional un-met and un-expressed stuff going on under the surface. You'll never change her by the sounds of it, but accepting that is just the way she is, is easier said than done especially when she is so intrusive in your lives

Can I just second these wise and loving words, and add lots of love of my own.

Indeed, and it is much much appreciated. Thank you. <3

I think living with knowing I killed someone would haunt me for the rest of my life. Odd that he wasn't cited.

[jehannamama]

To the best of my knowledge they are still investigating.

It makes me furious...

I'm so sorry you're going through this.

[jehannamama]

Thanks... It's getting a bit better. But weird.
I just sent you a f/r for FB.

Just getting caught up, was away at DragonCon.
I am so sorry to hear you are going through this. So many things going so wrong. Do what you can for Ronnie. Be there for him and let everything else take care of itself. This is something you CAN DO. Love and help you can give where it makes a difference.
Sending strength and love.

(((hugs))) Thank you. I'm unplugging the phone on a regular basis.
How are YOU?

You're smart to unplug the phone to give Ron a break.

I agree with belle_marmotte - it's Ron's call. Also a lot of people feel that pursuing any investigation just means that the wound keeps getting ripped open and for what purpose? The knowledge won't bring Walter back. Is the knowledge (or lack thereof) worth the repeated emotional injury? Plus it takes a lot of emotional energy to pursue that course. Ron probably doesn't have a lot of that right now.

Hugs to you both.

As near as I can tell, they have not done one thing. His son was handling it. Ronnie is not wanting to deal with it, but the son is pretty much the same, so I guess then nothing will be done.

We're surviving.
