I feel like a heel. I had to tell D13 that I asked her mom to stop coming into the house on school days since school starts tomorrow.
I said she'd pick her up but wait outside. I told her that mom doesn't live here any more and she shouldn't be coming in as if she did.
I could tell she was hurt. Not because of the change, but because of being reminded of the current living arrangements. I feel like I'm the one hurting everyone. But I know this is the way it has to be so that we can all heal, including W.
