History of H and exh - short story - I ended my first M because my exh had become a very angry person and abusive of me and the kids gradually over time. When my son started to go after his father to protect me - I decided it was time to give up. While we were S and living under the same roof, exh started dating without hiding it. While this was going on, my mother was terminally ill - she found out and started yelling at me to stop exh behavior - and then threatened to kill him if he put another hand on me. Serious stuff better left in the past. Kids were glad for the D and peace.
We got along afterwards because we were in separate worlds. The kids said he stopped getting angry the first year on his own - my d has always had a close R with her father, son not so much. Current H knows all this and has always been angry when seeing exh. Now that he takes respons for his own behavior, he is a little forgiving.
My poor neighbors! I can't imagine what they think! Me and angry men! Oh well, at least this one is making honest changes. Since we all be together at the grad, I will focus on d only. Maybe having her boyfriend along will help.
Spent the day decorating with H helping. I am already starting to get sentimental. I am such a cry baby. My son and H are keeping a close eye on me.
