Week of 30 May 1983
Mom describes a long trip to Indiana to figure out (settle up?) with Lisa’s first husband. As it turns out he sold all her stuff and pocketed the money. He told several obvious lies, and it was clear the relationship was over. From everything Mom wrote, and stories I’ve heard after the fact, this person is a real poor excuse for a human being. He said things that made it clear he was trying to evade responsibility to Lisa or her future baby. When the trip was over they had driven 3500 miles in three days. Mom summed up the experience by writing, “It was a hard and sad trip."
Upon return from Indiana, Mom found downtown Salt Lake City full of sandbags due to flooding. She and Lisa went to the home of our friends, the Barlow family, in Bountiful. To get there they went through water that got deeper than the top of their car hubcaps.
There was a ballgame for Crystal’s team that week Mom attended. She listed out a number of things she needed to buy for several of us children. She helped Lisa work with a lawyer friend named Ben Hadfield to deal with her marriage. They decided on divorce over annulment.
The rest of her notes revolved around a long list of tasks (as she writes about most weeks). Much of the list involved helping Lisa move and getting her settled into her new apartment.
