Hope,

Don't know if I ever mentioned this but Hope is my C name. Writing your name made me think of that.

Sounds like you have a long commute just like me. I have a 45 mile commute to my work and actually live in the country.

Yeah, my commute is long. But unlike you I get to ride a commuter train every day. I typically use my time on the train to read or journal.

...I used to get up at 4:30 in the morning to study before work, so I could get home by 6 and cook dinner every night.

Though I do not mind cooking, I miss having a nice dinner ready when I get home from work. My girls dinner time is when I walk in the door so I am always running around preparing something for them when I get home.

I thought I was doing good...H obviously didn't think it was enough.

You did good, your H is just a fool.

Not that this is going to make you feel any better, but my H didn't know that he was unhappy either until this conniving, manipulative b$tch came into the picture. It seems that it is all too common.

Why don't you tell me how you really feel about the OW
This unfortunately is the theme to a lot of broken M's that I have heard about lately. There is always another person involved, but the D is never about the OP according to the WAS. This is why God made M to be between two people not three. Once our S's get over the euphoric bliss with the OP and truely see them for who they are, they are going to have their bubble collaspe on them and will hit rock bottom hard.

Journaling:
After a few weeks of trying to teach my D5 to ride her bike she got it tonight. She rode her bike for the first time tonight without any help from training wheels or me. It was awesome to be apart of this and my STBXW had nothing to do with it. This was between Daddy and his little girl.

Looks like my W is going to be out of the house in a few short weeks. It is kind of bitter sweet at this point. I will nolonger be able to see my little girls everyday, but then again I won't have my WAW around. It gets me everytime I think about not seeing my girls on a daily basis. I guess this next month is going to be another emotional roller coaster of sorts for me. Just getting used to not having my girls around all the time is going to be tough.

Last night at the fair I almost startetd to cry watching them on the rides being care free and having fun. I love watching them smile and laugh.

My oldest is really starting to growup. She was great helping me out with her little sister yesterday.

I wish there was something that I could do so they did not have to growup in a broken home like this. But the only control I have is when they are with me.

Take Care,
Scott
