Divorcebusting.com Forums Open Forums We're separated--What Now? We're havin' a 'ho' down!

So my Dad got into town today and he wants to see my H and my H wants to see him so I mentioned to my husband that maybe we could all get together at the house Friday evening (tomorrow) and have a cookout. We firmed it up today and it's a go.

The best part, though, is my sister is coming.

With her family.

So how is your dad with the whole situation? I'm guessing they get on well or neither would care to see the other....

Hope you guys have a great time. Dang, if it weren't for the bum knee it be a great idea to bring some firecrackers to kind of light a fire under his ... well you know. Probably be good for a laugh all around anyway.

My Dad is pretty clueless, bless his heart.

Living in SC, he doesn't know anything except what I've told him.
He is one of the people I talked to after coming out of MLC.
He knows I'm standing.
It's just bizarre to him.

But as long as everyone is getting along, he's happy.
He is very sensitive so he doesn't need the details.
He's older now and I recognize that he blames himself for not being around when my sister and I were young.
He only really reconnected with us once we had kids of our own.
My mother drove him so far away he could hardly ever contact us when we were kids. He has been making up for it through our children. He thinks a lot of my husband and vice versa.
Two good men that would do things differently if they could...

Just like the rest of us.

You're so "WESt Coast".

It's a cookout.

HAAA!

...and I believe that would have been "Momma said KNOCK YO HO down".

See?

You're a doofus.

Down from where Amy?

AMY -

I'm not one to troll through threads and ask others to come take a look at my sitch, but your unique insight is really needed. I was sent an email tonight from a friend on the board that had your post dealing with "the enemy", and how "when a spouse decides to stand, he or she has now disrupted the smooth flow of his plan to destroy the family". (BTW, I took the liberty of copying it into my thread so I could refer back to it more - thanks)

Amy, I read this email an hour after being served my divorce papers last night. Not a good moment for me, to be sure. I then read your post from a couple days ago that I had previously read while lurking regarding "The Armor of God Prayer". I read that prayer out loud, dropped to my knees crying while clutching my divorce papers and had the most powerful prayer of my life (one without much praying by the way). I posted a long comment regarding this moment, plus some other issues dealing with my sitch, and if you can spare a bit of time, I would appreciate your guidence.

Thanks.

Amy I am going backwards and forward in my head right now regarding talking to my WAS. would you please look in on my thread and perhaps with your trusty 2x4 help me get through my own fog?
