Thinking of ya today. Glad your week in the sun was enjoyable! I am sure you missed D7 a lot and she will be glad to see you tonight...For me to detach I think I will have to stop contact w/my own H. The more we are together the harder it is...
Just got back from the house...D7 was very happy to see me as was the dog. My STBXW....not sure. So I decide to help D& wash her hair / take a bath. While in there she tells me mommy has a new boyfriend....do you have a new girlfriend? I told her she is all i need right now. for whatever reason, i was not surprised...i kept hearing about this one single guy in my wife's new circle of friends. Well good for her. W told me a few things about her work (business decisions)....it took all the will power I had to not tell her to ask her new boyfriend fro advice. She did sense it though...I am sure. I have to admit it is a strange feeling to almost not care. I saw W tonight and the more I look at her the more I think she will end up looking like some of those older ladies I saw in FLA....not a pretty sight...plastic surgery and btox central....Actually i started reading a book about how important it is to be a dad to your daughter and there was a small section in there that lit my light bulb about shallow woman....I am not saying my wife was always shallow but she sure changed after geting her mammmary augmentation. I had the feeling she was uncomfortable today with me in the house.
Wow, John....I don't care HOW detached you are, to me hearing my kids talk about my spouses new 'friend' would/will be a kick to the gut.........
You showed a lot of strength and class to talk with your W anyway. I never picture you guys as being much older than me (in fact my son is only one year younger than your D), so to hear you talk about your W that way is surprising. Is she already trying to 'recapture her youth'?
Nice job going and caring for your D. And how great you are reading a book about being a great daddy. Your D will know how much you have loved and cared for her, and that is something in itself.
I half expected this. Actually my daughter was very uncomfortable telling me. I guess she did not want to hurt me. It does not hurt as much as you guys might think. maybe i will have a delayed reaction. One thing it does tell me....in case i have not noticed...she is moving on big time. So it is up to me to do the same. One thing is certain, she will find it more and more difficult to reach me on the phone to discuss everyday "stuff".....D7 no problem...the rest she can now ask you know who. BBJ, my wife is in her forties and for the longest time she has always dressed alot younger than her age. Don't get me wrong she is a good looking woman but a little in your face with her attire at times.
D7 was uncomfortable..she probably felt In the middle. Her mom may have told her not to say anything?? You never know. Don't let it affect you John..Live your life, be the best daddy possible. It sounds like your daughter is just awesome..
the plastic surgery..I'm with you here. It's a tradition in Kim's family..her mother has had lots, her dad had some and her step mom too..
I did not sense that D7 was telling me something her mom told her not to say. It was more of a protective uncomfortable.....i hate my W for putting D7 through all this sh!t. i can't imagine what she is feeling. You are right D7 is awesome.
OK now I am picturing Edie from Desperate Housewives when I think of your W---sorry John! She is the one who tries a little "too hard" to look sexy all the time. Plus Nicollete Sheridan (that's who plays Edie) looks to me as though she has had a little 'work' done...
OK back to John
Have a good day. It is ELECTION day here! Can you tell I am excited? And also freaked out?
Your D IS awesome, and she has a very awesome Daddy, too. Thinkin of ya.
