Pancake breakfast this morning. W would not go. D and I went. It was fun. We then went to a big playground that has been built in my hometown. It's about 3 acres of nothing but equipment for all children..I'm talking all children, handicapped or not. It's called a "boundless Playground" I called my S23 out there also. I needed to tell him in person that his step mother wants a D. I felt bad for him because I know he might feel he is re-living my D from his mother. He was 10 when we Divorced. I would have rather told him face to face than do it over the phone.
We had a lot of fun on the playground. I got some good pictures. I made a good memory for me and my D.
My wife called me while I was there. She was crying. It seems my mom called her wanting to know why my W was not at the pancake breakfast. Unconditional love from my family. I think my mother also asked some things about why my W wants the D. My mom and dad are very hurt. They have accepted her as a daughter. I called my mom back and let her know the call was probably a bad idea but they don't really understand my W's reasons for wanting out.
When I got back home my wife had covered up my copy of the D papers so she would not see them. I uncovered them.
