Just having a difficult time lately with that, but I like how you think about it - a babysitter.
Ex dropped off the kids today. I was across the street talking with the neighbor guy. Ex gave him a nasty look as he pulled in the driveway. I walked up to ex and was pleasant and smiley. I asked how the kids were and we laughed about some stuff. He looks sad and forlorn. I'm just glad to have my babies back away from him and his bad influences.

You know, I believe that at some level many of them KNOW that we still love them. I have actually had this confirmed by a former MLCer, who said 'I always knew I could and would go home'[and that was a crazy one]
My kids are convinced that my h would be totally freaked out if I started dating. [Actually I think they would too, for all they tell me that they wouldn't!] But who knows. Ultimately we have to live as we think best for us and our family, and if we do start a new r, with regard to that person too, and not with one eye on our crazy spouse.
