My D's took the news as I expected. Younger D was okay - glad that OW isn't a stranger and she likes OW. (Take knife out of heart here). Honestly, I'm am okay with the fact that she is at peace with it - she doesn't need this turmoil.
Older one thinks it is wrong to do that to friends.....at least she didn't get her moral compass from her father. She thinks it is "wierd" and knows that they will be spending more time at OW's house. She is bored there and made the comment that she would be going to more sleepovers.
H didn't tell D's that he told me so they thought they had to protect me and not tell me. Both were surprised that I knew.
This has created a brand new awkwardness to our "relationship". I don't want to see him, speak to him, etc. All conversations are right to the point and then good bye. Unfortunately, I am back to giving him and OW mind space - but I suppose that this is normal given the circumstances. I have been focusing on eliminating this, but as with everything, it takes time. I'm not numb anymore - I'm getting pretty good at a quick recovery.
Up - I will be focusing on custody. I have a feeling that he will want things to change - his girls, her girls - a little Brady Bunch situation. Over my dead body.....he had no interest in them before......
Peace - all that H does is pay the money. I fix everything, schedule everything, drive everywhere, take care of everything. When he left, he left. He now tries to ease his guilt with his wallet. The girls can have what they want, when they want. It disgusts me. They want his presence, not his presents. Can you tell I don't like him today...
All is better here. I survived another bomb. Just wish I didn't have to.....
