T2L All I can say is WOW. I thank God that it lead me to your thread. Hitting home, hitting home. I do have to say that I was a step ahead. Makeup on fresh, combed my hair, applied new eyes. Put that stuff on my lips that makes them bigger (something new that I never used lipstick before). I officially have my war paint on. Like the babble, I did use my own version when i told H I was not happy either. It's funny he is out cheating and moving out but he still wants to be the nice guy to me. It might be because he has much to lose financially if I pull the infidelity card in a D. I will look for that thread. Sounds interesting.
Oh, guess who just called. H called on work phone so I have to answer it and not know it was him. He stopped at the house. Get this, asks me "how are you", I said I am fine now. He says, I know this is not easy for you, (duh), I said I had better birthdays before and i know I will have better in the future. He did not respond. I did not tell him I was meeting with C tonight. He is taking D15 to soccer practice -- both ways. I think I will find a noisy bar when he calls at 7:30 about picking up D, just so i can answer the phone and say I am out celebrating. The paragraph about the kids will try to be my protectors, has really hit home. Thanks for knocking me on the head. I need to continue to be strong for my girls, especially my youngest. She will try and be the parent to me and that is bad. Also did your Mom divorce your father? How old were you?? My Dad and Mom were married till he died 2 months short of their 50th anniversary. He was a great Dad and husband. This is why it is so difficult that he is walking out. Also soooo true that they do rewrite the marriage. They have to justify their bad behavior. wish I had a friend like you here in ole Texas!! ;-)
