What a great day. Laura and I had been growing concerned that Emily was relying on too small a base of support by sequestering herself and only allowing Steve, Noreen (practically of one mind), and Becca direct access to her or knowledge of her whereabouts. Laura expressed that concern to Andy and Marsha and they said they felt the same concern. Today everything seemed to open up. As I understand it Becca talked to Andy and Marsha and shared what they discussed with Emily (and possibly the rest of that inner circle). I don’t know that the narrow base issue was part of that discussion, but everybody got together at the Children’s Museum and had free access to Emily. She was radiant – a huge change from the hesitant, never very confident Emily I have always known. Having talked with her at length as well as talking to Steve, AJ, Noreen, and Andy and Marsha I feel very good about how this whole situation is progressing. The news that Tyler is staying in town to receive the formal papers filing for divorce rather than going to visit his family in Idaho is very encouraging. This may yet turn out to be a relatively clean break as divorces go.
