Treese, I'm glad to see that everything is okay between your daughter and her friend. It's not easy growing up these days and then w/her father mia as well. That coach sounds like a real piece of work.
You were asking if people felt uneasy about their situations. Yes. We all did and do. It's not easy living a life in limbo and never knowing what might you say or do may be the "right or wrong" that triggers a negative reaction out of the MIAs. Then again, many feel very uneasy aroung the MIAs when they do surface because they are just so different from what we once knew and loved. It's just a very difficult journey for you and your family, but in time, when you let him go completely, detach completely, things will start to turn around a bit for you and your children because your focus will be elsewhere.
I do hope that you can relax and enjoy the festivities of the wedding. Hopefully with it being the second time around, it won't be so much of the usual stuff that goes on with the first one.
Take care of yourself.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
