I’m pretty sure it was just a coincidence, but you never know!
(Tbh if anything it was that I’d been there sorting out a load of paperwork and he went “right, that’s sorted”. But I think it was just time.)
My sister’s not speaking to me, since, oh, last autumn? She got drunk and sent me some frankly horrible text messages, I told her to go to bed before she said something unforgivable, and since then crickets. Not even a Christmas card. Hey ho.
I am sorry you and your family are going through so much. It never rains but it pours.
