Sorry for all the bitter spew earlier. The pain is just still so immediate, knowing that the divorce will be final in 2 weeks. And stbxH really is a puppet on a string for the OW. It's so sad.
The kids are very upset. S9 says he doesn't really want to go to Daddy's anymore. This past weekend D14 made some kind of snarky comment about the OW, which earned them all a big lecture about not talking bad about her, and needing to be respectful to her (they haven't even officially met her yet). D14 (in a typically bratty hormonal teenage girl way) muttered, "yeah, well I hope she dies."
Not a kind or charitable Christian thought, to be sure, but somewhat understandable given her age, her anger, her stress level, and the recent level of conflict between her and her father.
What is absolutely NOT understandable was my stbxH's response, which was, "Yeah, well, I hope YOU die."
Lovely, yes?
What has become of my once loving, responsible, caring, committed, generous H? He is gone. Dear Lord, please help me be strong for my kids.
