Hi LWB,
I've been home since Sunday, I've been trying to catch up on everyone's post. I've been busy the past two days, but got on when I had a minute.

First of all, I'm sending you a gigantic hug. Congrats on completing the run, you go girl. Happy belated b-day your wonderful little angel.

I'm so sorry that you found out that he is involved with another OW, as you would say "blechy"!!!!! I totally understand your need to be distance yourself from him. I really think that is in your best interest right now. You are so sweet and you worry about everyone else's feelings, but you know what, you are a worthwhile person too. As a matter of fact you are an awesome person.

Here are some of my thoughts...just remember these are just my thoughts and they may not fit your sitation, but I'm an outsider looking in and I see how much this is hurting your well-being. Maybe it's time to tell him that you appreciate what a supportive and loving father he is, but you think that maybe it's time to stop doing family things together. Maybe you could work out an agreement that he gets the girls when you are working and you get them when he is working. I somehow don't think you will have to worry about him wanting them more. It seems like he has a very active social life and would not want the girls with him in his space right now. I think he likes the convenience of being able to play "family" right now at your house. If this is making you uncomfortable, I believe you have a right to set some boundaries...

Hugs, Yoyo
