H4C, Make sure to document when OM moved in, conversations with DD saying that she is sad and uncomfortable,and the alien conversations with your W. You are definitely the most fit parent. Just make sure your W isn't aware of it. Sorry your DD is having to go through this. She's just a child and deserves to be loved and nurtured.

So got stung again tonight... D called back. She said she was sad because her mom is always sitting in OM's lap and kissing him all the time and that they sleep in the same bed together.
I soooo didnt need to hear that but I cant tell my D to not express herself to me... how do I detach when my D tells me these things?
Just when I thought I was letting go, I hear that and the hurt comes right back.
They were at a bowling alley tonight and W was all over OM... that used to be me she was all over. :-(
Any advice?

Btw... my D called me at 10:15pm last night, waaaaay past her bedtime. I asked why she was still awake.. she told me mommy had a bunch of friends over and they were partying.
Im thinking my W might be an unfit mother. :-(

H4C - it sucks coming to that realization. They end up acting so irrationally and appear so damn irresponsible. I never had any doubts about my wife's ability to care for our kids, putting their needs over her own. As parents, that's what we do. Now it seems the walk-away's just want to take care of themselves. "Kids are resilient, they'll adjust."
They shouldn't have to.

Boy, do I agree with you on that. Not once has my H ever said anything about our D3 when he talked about separating. She absolutely adores him and it kills me to think of having to tell her anything. For godsake, she's not quite 4 yrs old. She shouldn't have to go through this. She doesn't deserve this.

I'm sorry about this. It just isn't fair. I was talking to a good friend of mine today and just broke down. It just isn't fair to D3. She doesn't deserve this. My H is at home, but it still hurts like hell that he's choosing someone he's only known for 7-8 months over us.

We love someone and they willingly chose to hurt us.. thats the part that sucks the most, they are CHOSING to be with some other sleazebag over their families.
