It sounds like you are in a much healthier place when it comes to your Ex. What are you wanting from him at this point.....a friendship, a relationship. only co-parenting? I was just wondering because it does not seem like he is completely over you yet. Are you just ready to move on or are you hoping that one day maybe......
No matter what, lwb, stay strong and keep what you are doing as far as your beautiful children are concerned. You are a great mom and I admire the strength you have. You are my role model!

Wow. That seems like an easy question, doesn't it? I honestly don't know how to answer that, I really don't. I am not hanging on, hoping that one day.... because I know my xH and he won't be back. I am kind of glad for that, because even I see now that its best that we are divorced. I would be so very confused if he wanted to come back.
Well, sounds like you have moved on and are only wanting a frienship. If you two can have that, it will be such a blessing to your children. I think you are in such a healthy place and can see how detached from him you have become. You are an example of a sucess story that didnt end with R.

D6 walked downstairs this morning and said "What did Daddy do??". They weren't upset when I told them Daddy took it to Grandpa's so he has a big TV to watch. D6 said "Yeah, Grandpa's old and needs a big TV to watch". lol Love those girls.
Awwww...what a sweetie! I see that your DDs are growing up to be gracious young ladies like their mother.
By the way I saw the new picture too. They are so adorable! That's a really good picture of you too!

Your children are absolutely beautiful and amazing LWB. Your D6 seems very well adjusted already to the D and that is all because of you and the way you're handling yourself.
Keep up the great work!

I hope so. Thank you so much!
My neighbor told me that D6 told her daughter (D6's friend) about the divorce this week. I need to keep talking to her about it, so she knows she can approach me anytime. SallyM sent me some great kid books. Time to break 'em out.
ROUGH morning getting the girls up and out. I was majorly stressed. Now I feel horrible because D4 has tummy problems (lots of bathroom trips). Poor baby. We napped together today and she seemed to feel better when she woke up. I wish I were home with them tonight.
ROOT. Yes. Every day emotions for me are different. I have been dealing with a few things this week that made me come to the realization that I missed him. One is a huge family vacation xH's sibs are planning in June. I have been tagged in on the emails, even specially invited by his sister, saying everyone wants me there. I responded by saying that obviously xH has the first option of going, and I wasn't sure I could go even if he couldn't. She understands.
Ouch #1. My 'family' is not what it used to be, no matter how welcoming they are.
I was very stressed this morning with the girls and had nowhere to vent to.
Ouch #2. That everyday support is gone.
I am slowly getting a teeeeeny tiny bit lonely each night xH is gone.
Ouch #3. This is real. I am divorced, xH is moving on.
BUT...know this...xh NEEDS to be gone, if this is our situation. I wouldn't change that part.
So, I suppose, in hindsight, I am missing what I had, not what is today.
I missed X today but not really in the emotions part but in the help he would give w/ D11 scince project or the leaky sink.... I give him that he was very handy, was able to fix anything pretty much...
