So, I was talking to my stbx last night and it struck me hard just how different this woman is than the one from even just a year ago. It's hard to explain to you all without going into details, but suffice it to say that she is making comments and doing things I've never seen before now. They aren't necessarily bad or mean, just completely different than she used to say and do. I think "Nick" has really had an effect on her more than I thought. I think she is picking up a lot of these new behaviors from him (otherwise I don't know where).
Last night when I was talking to my older son he looked at me and said "We are glad you are home. It was boring without you." It made me smile. Unfortunately the stbx heard it and didn't smile.
