Had a good time at the movie with SIL---in spite of the fact the husband in the movie was having an affair!!!!! We talked just a bit about divorce and I am happy to say I didn't even get teary-eyed this time! I also got to express a concern about future family get-togethers: how will it be since ow and BIL are such good friends???? SIL said I will always be included in family things at their house. If H chooses to bring ow that will be between the 3 of us. I said I felt like BIL's friendship for ow would "trump" our family connection, but SIL said no. Wonder if BIL feels the same? Maybe some day I will get up enough courage to talk to him. SIL did say, though, that they may do social things with H and ow and, of course, I wouldn't be included then. I think it would be easier if ow was not connected in any way! It would also be easier if we didn't live in the same town. Oh well, I will have to survive here the next 2 years while D16 finishes high school.
I was relived when I got home that D16 was still home alone. I am always suspicious now when she calls to ask what time I will be home. I have lost my trust for both H and D16. Isn't that sad?
