Ugh, I know how you feel. It's like when I get an invoice from my ATTY and see that he charged me $125 (30 minutes) for sending a letter to H or to me that I know took him no more than 5 minutes to complete!

But what can we do, ya know?!

We rode together as we had both just had a meeting at D4's school. H initiated talk on the way back about how much 'this' sucks. He continued on to list what sucks about it: less time with the girls, nowhere to live, getting the older car, etc. Funny, he never once mentioned me in that list of losses. Sigh. I shouldn't expect it, but darnit. He did say "I can't believe I am here, taking this path. It blows my mind." I said nothing, because its his choice.


Sounds soooo familiar. They go down the list of what they're going to miss, and it hurts something terrible when you're nowhere in there. Tough one to swallow.

But yes, this is his choice, and he will have to deal with the consequences.

H is right now at his court mandated parenting class (I go on Saturday). He still holds firm with his "the girls will be fine" argument.


It's what he has to tell himself in order to lessen the guilt he feels. Makes it easier for him to go through with this.

I miss him. Old him. Oh but at least the New Him is following my boundaries this week. Wow.


I am glad to hear he's doing this. How does it make you feel?

Hang in there, sweetie.
