Yoyo's Playhouse

[Yoyowife]

Last night was bittersweet. It was DD17's last game to cheer at. On one hand it will be so nice to not have to go to all of the games anymore, but it's sad on the other hand because it means she will be graduating soon. Wow, they grow up fast!

The game was out of town, over an hour away. H came by and got me. An unusual oppurtunity came up to get some truth darts out.

H asked me who a player was. I said, "His name is Evan. His father is married to Chase's (Chase is good friend of DD20) mother. Chase's mother cheated on his dad with Evan's dad. Chase cannot stand his stepfather because he is the one that his mother cheated with and broke up the family. Chase also has very little to do with his mother. That's why Chase chose to move in with his Dad in the 6th grade." H did not say anything about the story other than asking if Evan's dad was at the game. I didn't show any emotion when I told this story. Just said it in a matter of fact way.

I was glad to be able to give him a true life example of how adultery can ruin the parent/child relationship without even having to refer to our own situation.
