My "it's very difficult" was in reply to this: I don't want her turned into a tug-of-war rope either. But I've lost so much else lately because of H's profoundly selfish choices--I don't want to lose my daughter half the time too. And no, I don't think that's best for her.
Hey, we're also going to be in the St. Louis area over Christmas --- if all goes according to plan. D28's H is in the USAF, so we'll be staying on base. What fun!
Anyway, I sure hope your Thanksgiving goes well and that you get to spend it with your D12.
Thinking of ya!

Ah. Yes. This is easily the hardest, most painful part.

Yep! Scott AFB, but visiting people in St. Louis too. Looking forward to it.
Hope Veteran's Day went well for y'all. In Canada it's Remembrance Day, and it has a lot of meaning in our family.
Hope the rest of the week goes well for you, Hmama!

I love Canada! Remembrance Day--what a nice expression. We spent a week or so in London (Ontario) when D was 3 while H was at a conference. Loved the culture there; also loved the little pie/tart thingies (can't remember what they were called!) Oh--and poutine! Of course, I like all the stuff that's fattening! And I loved driving down the highway for hours, not really sure if I was going the speed limit (!) and seeing no billboards!!
