lwb, S4 will act in the same way. If I say, "Ok, time to get ready for Dad. He's coming to pick you guys up," S4 will say he doesn't want to go with Daddy. Sometimes it's just for a few hours, so I'll tell him it's only for a little while. S4 then says, "Then we're coming back here (home)?" I say yes, then he smiles and says, "Yay!!!" S12 has exhibited the same sort of feelings as well.
GF: Yep!!! Totally to the above!!! Home is here, with me.

I go from having this beautiful sense of forgiveness and acceptance to reeling with the sense of injustice that one guy can wreak so much havoc on every possible aspect of what was the life we shared as a family.
Yup. That is me, before 8am too.
Took my close friend out for her birthday tonight. She is 38. My friends and I laughed because I swear we just went out for our round of 21st birthdays, and here we are! We decided we all look the same as we did then. It was a super nice time. I came home in time to put the girls to sleep. While I love getting out, I only have 3 nights to put them to bed (because of work), so I really feel torn. And I realized when I got home (even thought I grumbled to myself leaving the bar/restaurant and my friends behind) that home is where I wanted to be, with the 2 princesses falling asleep next to me.
