the kids feel that, in order to get their dad's attention, they have to "like" the OW
My H has all but said this to my children and his actions certainly say it. That has hurt them more than anything else.
Cinders I too know how all this feels. I didn't handle it with your grace and in a way I am paying the price now. You are one special lady. Never forget that.

Hi, I have been away for a few days, so only just caught up with your posts. I am so sorry about your daughter. I agree with the others - the OW novelty will wear off, but your grace and dignity will NOT be forgotten.
I cannot think of anyone here who has handled her sitch better than you, in how you deal with OW around the kids, truly. I am awestruck.
I had a migraine attack today - probably from all the stress lately, but I am fine !
Kids went swimming at friend's houses this afternoon, I'm so happy that they are all doing so much better !
H called, he has the beginnings of pneumonia...I told him that I was sorry he was feeling bad, that hopefully he would feel better soon.
Thank you for all your kind encouragement, I love you all so very much, you are wonderful friends and you have all taught me so much ! I am in awe of all of you and thank GOD that He brought me to this place !
Will post soon !

All is ok here....H has told kids that he (once AGAIN...) has a 'SURPRISE' for them this weekend ! He can't seem to go one weekend just doing something normal.
D9 was upset because she will be at her dad's on Sunday, ...on Mother's Day. I told her that her dad would bring them home by 3pm and that I will be waiting for them...that Mother's Day is everyday anyway...we both cried. I decided to tell her about TRUE love....how letting someone go, however painful it is, is actually an act of TRUE love...and that because I love her daddy SO MUCH, that I feel that I must let him go and be happy where he feels happy. We both cried some again.
I am so proud of my kids, they are wonderful little angels !
Life still makes ups and downs...I just seem to cope with them better these days.
I thank God for everything that is going well, and try to leave the rest u to HIM ! God has a plan for us, of that I am sure !
Take care dear friends !

Cinders, you trully are an awesome woman, mother, and wife. Your H is so totally blind to not see that. You deserve so much happiness in your life and I pray that one day you get all that you deserve.
If only I could get myself to be where you are at. If I could be half as strong as you, to do what is right for me and my girls.
" I decided to tell her about TRUE love....how letting someone go, however painful it is, is actually an act of TRUE love...and that because I love her daddy SO MUCH, that I feel that I must let him go and be happy where he feels happy."
This is sooo true and I admire you for letting it be...
((((Cinders))))
Take care and God Bless You, TOH
