Hey everyone, I'm still here, I took some time off to really think about what Puppy was telling me and I've been so very busy with the kids, house, work, it's been hard to find time to post anything.
First let me say that W only had the kids for just more than 1 day in October. That when she came back from her trip (I still don't know where she went) she had presents for all the kids. She has been very nice to me, bringing me stuff, like cookware, a music CD she thought I would like to download into my collection, etc. Which all seems so strange
Puppy I am always polite to W in front of the kids, and I understand where you are coming from. I even told W thank you today. She called our insurance agent and got all the car insurance straight. It wasn't much but it's one thing off of my to do list.
I do appreciate your input Puppy and you know I can be a hard head, stubborn old German. I need to get over W and move on with my life. A little difficult still because I'm still married, have 4 kids in tow, have places the kids need to be all the time and little spare change right now. But things will get better, so I'm optomistic about the future.
Hey Sara, Just take the high road, Jeff. Be the better person in all regards. Your kids will notice and you will feel better about yourself. I'm trying but its hard, I really don't engage W in any conversation but will respond politly to her if she asks me any questions. There are really no questions I have for her, oh yeah I do ask her some questions, when will you be bringing the children back but that question doesn't come up very often. Had W over for Halloween, several days ago we discussed Christmas and I could tell she wanted to know what I was thinking, I told her straight out she was expected Christmas morning over at the house before the kids woke up.
Hey whatdidido, Tell me again when the divorce is final? I don't know, waiting on W lawyer to finish up with the paperwork and expect everything to be wrapped up early next year. W would never listen to me about seeking any help, she doesn't think anything is wrong with her and she is happy that she doesn't have to deal with all the crap that goes along with being married with children.
W has D7 & D7 at their soccer game (cold night in St Louis) they are meeting me and D9 at D9 soccer game later on tonight. Then W is taking all the kids home with her (I had to pack a lot of stuff) and they are going to stay with their mom this weekend, until Sunday morning. I'm glad the kids get to stay with their mom, they need to see her and I need a break every now and then. I don't have anything planned, I have house and yard work to do, need to get an early start and keep focused, will be weird, the house is going to be so quiet.
I hope this post finds you all well and I wish the best for each of you. I continue to keep you all in my prayers Puppy, H4H, WDID, Sara, Karen, Kat and everyone else. I really do, I have to go now I'll come back soon, thank you all so very much
