Sg & Merel:

Thank you both so much for your reply.

H has been after S16 to meet OW 3 weeks after he left. I believe he's trying to justify the OW by showing S16 how great she is. OW likes to hunt and fish (S16's hobbies). I have gone hunting with S16 but not fishing (I'd rather sleep in a little!).

I've decided to let it go. H hasn't even mentioned the trip to me. Maybe when he does I'll suggest that S16 is only trying to make H happy by meeting OW. Would this be OK to say?

I'm so lost and confused right now. I feel like H has me on the ground and is kicking the crap out of me.

SG - what makes me happy? Good questions. I love to see my boys smile and hear them laughing. Me personally, I've lost touch with myself so long ago when I became a mom. I've been working on my GAL goals. I should give this question more thought.

Today is S16's birthday (he's 16 today). It's also OW's youngest 7th birthday. H is not spending tonight with our S and the family. He's "out of town" a/k/a with OW. My S would be so hurt if he knew.
