No "can I get you anything?" from him


Yeah. I know. It's great that the kids asked though.

I don't want to get used to it. I want my Dad to not live somewhere else." He's 5. How can you respond but with a hug and telling him that daddy and I both love him? grrrr. He's the one who chose this, he's the one who should have to deal with this, not me.


A hug and telling him you both love him is the best. As much as I think it hurts them (WAS's), it really pisses me off that I'm the one cleaning up his mess. He'll see them one day a week (until that changes) and then it'll be "Daddy!" and not the day to day stuff and all the feeling that go along with it (I have two D's 15 and 13).

I'm beginning to think that maybe he doesn't deserve me. Maybe he doesn't deserve the family that he so wanted.


In a way (at least right now) he doesn't. He is broken in some way and he can't even begin to appreciate not only what he had, but the incredible woman he married that is still looking towards a better future. You're right about what the kids deserve. No matter what though, I can tell you're a Mom that will take care of them with your love and kindess as well as your strength.
