Chapter 24 - WHAT I TOLD NORA’S GRANDMOTHEREvelyn struggled with access at first.
Not because I blocked her.
Because she kept trying to repair Derek and me.
At Nora’s first Christmas she said:
“Maybe having the baby will eventually remind you what matters.”
I looked at her.
“Nora is not marital glue.”
She flinched.
“I didn’t mean—”
“I know what you meant.”
“I just hate seeing the family broken.”
“It was broken before you knew.”
That stopped her.
Later she apologized.
She became a good grandmother after she accepted that her job was not to restore the old household.
Just love Nora.
No comments about reconciliation.
No reporting Derek’s dating life.
No asking me whether I missed him.

Boundaries turned her into a much easier person to love.
Funny how often that works.
