I wanted to stop by and say hello, to really let you all know that eventhough I don't post, I still think of you all the time, You are always in my prayers Karen, Kat, Cat, Sara, WDID, H4H MC,Puppy, lwb.
I also wanted to wish a happy mothers day to all the ladies, my exw told me this week she is having a hard time with mothers day coming up (go figure) I didn't say anything to her, she isn't going to take the kids Sunday, I told her to stop by on Sunday night so the kids can give her their mothers day cards and I'll have flowers for the kids to give her.
Dwelling on what she said this week, the kids don't know any better, they still love her and will alway love her no matter what she does, also thinking of fathers day, it wouldn't matter if the kids were with me because everyday is fathers day at my house
We are beginning our busy summer schedule, everyone playing softball/baseball even myself, asked exw if she was going to take kids the night I have softball (no response yet) if not I'll hire a babysitter.
My situation is nothing special and I'll have to deal with the stupid stuff my ex-w does and says for the rest of my life, I'm still dealing with the anger and pain, less anger - I don't know if the pain ever goes away, because we can all remember the happy days, they seem to stick out more then the sad memories, there was really only one major bad time (finding out about OM and going through the seperation/D) the other bad days were just a part of life, M is a road with its ups and downs, you deal with the bad days and move on, focusing on the good. That's were the pain comes from, remembering the good times and knowing there gone. I'm not saying I won't have more happy times going forward, just that the good times as a family with my ex are over.
I'm a lucky man, I have my house and kids (exw has kids 4 days a month) Another man in my parish going through this crap now, and he is going to have to sell their house and split all the assets and fight for his right to see his kids. He hasn't talked to me yet but he knows I'm here for him if he wants to. (relayed to him through mutual friend)
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Karen, Kat, Cat, Puppy, H4H, WDID, Sara, lwb, MC and everyone else on this site. Happy Mothers Day Ladies.
