I kind of agree with everyone.. I will no longer cover it up. All of my closest friends know about the A, too. If anyone asks, I will tell them that stbxh wanted this D. It was HIS choice. I just don't want to be the bitter xw either... Delicate balance, I guess.

As for D4, it is very hard since.. well.. she's four! I have told her bits and pieces.. Such as she will be living part of the time with Mommy and part of the time with Daddy. Honestly, she seems pretty secure in her R with me. I know this because she goes off with Dad on his weekends and could care less about me. She KNOWS that I will always be here for her when she returns... I just keep telling her that she doesn't need to miss me cuz I'm always here for her..even when I can't see her..

"Olive, what do you plan to tell your daughter about her Stepmom and her Dad when she's old enough to understand the 10 commandments?"

Good question Theo. I am really struggling with this anyway. He makes me so angry when he says that he's seeking God's guidance. I want to get up on my soapbox but know that I would just be wasting words.. Luckily, I have some time to figure this one out.

Thanks everyone.. LO
