Two of the kids are fine. (middle son is still a wondering soul)In fact we are now grandparents! My D and her husband had a little girl last summer!
Yes Barb I agree that having started our new relationship so early has lengthened our recovery. We have both come to this conclusion on our own and recently shared with each other.
We're trying to give each other the space we need to work on our own issues while still being here for each other as well. It's an interesting line to walk!
I have the same thoughts about my X. I'm still mad as hell about the way he handled things and continues to handle our children and grandchild. Kids however figure these things out on their own. Two of the kids have nothing to do with him. Don't even speak. The third is still trying to play both sides and it's tearing his own life apart. I worry for him but find myself unable to help him. At least he finally moved out of X's house - didn't go far however and they are still best of friends while X continues to disappoint him. It's like watching a puppy get hit with rolled up newspaper but keep coming back for more.
Big news! The X who is now 53 years old will be a Daddy again soon. What a complete joke - he was and continues to be a terrible father to my three, now he's going to ruin another life. I feel sorry for the poor baby!
An yes, I understand that the pending birth is one of the reasons I'm feeling down and still need to heal. It has thrown me for a loop and I'm having trouble with the idea.
