Again......we are shocked at new events in an already old pattern.
Expecting appropriatness, decency and manners from two people who have gone the other way for so long.
OW pushes herself in an inappropriate way in your kids, in awful situation....what would stop her from doing it at a funeral?
Your STBX goes along like he has no brain, when it comes to his own kids. What makes you think he will stop for a funeral?
Can't forget the incredible "first meeting" with the girls, and sleeping the SAME BED and then wondering "what did we do to give you the impression we were more than friends, children?"
WHAT????
Someone dying, grief of dear ones, will not stop people who are that self-absorbed.
And, that, exactly, is the difference everyone will see at the funeral. It sticks out more than you give yourself credit.
You have grace, strength, dignity, and respect. You are thinking of others in their time of grief. You are thinking things through about style, appropriateness and what is right. That shows. And, it's what separates you, very distinctly, from that whore.
Let me remind you of the wedding Lissie and I went to with Annie. Remember that?
She walked in with grace, dignity, and strength. EVERYONE saw it. She put herself aside and did what her son needed that day.
That whore Big Gulp looked like an idiot in comparison. We could SEE it. We could HEAR it. She had to leave early. Because Annie was a shining star.
If there is one thing I learned from this whole ordeal in my life.....never underestimate the power of grace, class and strength.
Often, it is the ONLY thing people remember.You can't fake it or buy it for anything in the world.
