My first step out of Newcomers

[PositivelyMommy]

Kev,
Sounds like your Mom and my Mom are cut from the same cloth. My mom doesn't say anything about H but I can tell that she is so furious at him. She keeps it under wraps because she doesn't want to upset me more by spewing poison onto him, I guess she loves me more than she hates him.LOL.

I have boxes and boxes loads of Thomas. The kids still take them out sometimes to play with it so I can't bear to throw it all away yet. We've got plastic ones and wooden ones and everything in between. I might find a nice little boy to give them to in a year or two.


If you dread coming home and seeing that your W has moved stuff out. I might gently suggest to your W that she is free to come and move stuff out but to let you know first. Maybe it's time to set some boundaries of your own. Not in a mean way, but just to show her that you have self-respect and have your OWN space and that she can't just waltz in and out at her whim. I know you still want her home, That's OK. It's more an exercise of, "You do realize you are moving out and doesn't live here anymore. So you need to treat me a friend and let me know before you come by and take things out."

My H is taking things out little by little when I am not here and it annoys me to no end. He only takes his clothes, not our possessions so I haven't brought it up or anything. But I lose respect for him because it's so secretive and he can't do it like a man. So have some respect for yourself then maybe she will show some respect to you as well.

Good luck.
