So the smackdown happened. Or didn't. The meeting happened, but I'm not sure whether it qualifies as a smackdown. Maybe. The problem is that it's been nine days and I still haven't had an update, apart from J's brief voicemail (she said that E "verbalized" the right things). Additional evidence: my father reports that last week, E insisted on taking him out for a walk. She typically does that only under pressure. So that might be a direct result of the confront... ah, excuse me... conversation.
It's a little hard managing all this from a 200-mile remove.
The Zen lesson might be this: don't try to manage. Let the results be the results.
Still, I wouldn't mind having some sense of what went on...
