Cinders,
You are a strong woman. I am glad D7 is better. Thank God.

You are the image of grace and love. God bless you, Cinders.

Your children will see OW as an old friend soon.

Kiki !

Tonight after putting D7 in a small hath in her hospital room, as I dried her off, she told me that she had seen ow naked (lower part) when she saw her on the toilet... H was sitting in the hospial room when D7 told me this, so he was right there with us, I just said, 'ok, that's nice to know' in a kind of flabbergasted tone...I didn't even DARE to look up at H, but I felt his look on me as if trying to figuere out what I was thinking.

I did wonder if he realises the impact of what the kids tell me in their naive-state.

Then I let it go, he probably did the same.


So, you just never know what detail the kids will share next.

I am so glad that your D is on the road to recovery! It's always so hard when they are in the hospital.

You are a great mom as everyone else has said and your kids are very lucky to have you!!

Hang in there, you are in my prayers.

Just one more example of the shining light you are! Im glad your H pulled his head out of his bum long enuff to see D7. At least he showed you some respect by asking first.

your kids will tire of ow, she will tire of "pretending " to adore them. she cant keep it up forever. But you will have moved on and found someone worthy of your love.

The kids cannot stop talking about ow. They are crazy about her, she pops up in every conversation they have, it is very hard, but I am trying very hard, not to let it affect things and my feelings.

Cinders.

I do take my hat off to you the way you cope with having OW around your child. I REALLY do. I am psyching myself up mentally for that time.

It’s one of those dilemmas where I hope he’ll hate her but know it will be better for him if he likes her.

My H OW is currently ‘in hiding’ I don’t why that is. It has been 9 months now …

The novelty will wear off soon I am sure.

Hope your daughter is feeling better soon.

Maybe now he is a better man. Now that he is no longer with me. Maybe she brings out the best in him. If that is so, then I must accept it.

Cinders, you are one smart lady. You know that is not true.

We all know how easy it is to ‘act as if’ for a short time.

It is almost as if he is on his best behaviour around you.

You clearly have his respect; and rightly so.

Nutty.

Cinder,

How is your daughter doing? How are you doing?

You have such a beautiful soul. It clearly shows how you put your children before you.

I think you and me are along the same wave paths lately. We both seem to be questioning whether the ow are really better for our H's then we were. I guess only time will tell.

Hang in there. ((((hugs))))

Cinders,

I just finally had a chance to sit down and read your posts. I am so sorry to hear about your daughter's illness but I'm thankful that she is doing better. I will keep her in my prayers.

You are certainly a pillar of strength. Coping with the exposure of your children to OW has to take a serious toll on you but you bear it very well. My hat is off to you. I hope to learn from your example as I'm dreading the day that H tries to force the issue.

Much love and best wishes to you!
