Ok ...here's the scoop today. XH had requested to be my friend on IM two wks ago.....
Talked with XH on IM and we had a nice conversation. Told me he went fishing etc....(something my XSIL said he only did to get away from me...not! XH Loved it) We talked about our dog, if I had him still etc.. He told me that I was always a good wife and I went back and said he was always a great H and I am sorry about it didnt work out between us and always wished it did.
Then asked him if he thought we ever could get it back...no response (I Know I should have never asked)
Then XH said well not to bring up the past...XH then proceeded to blamed my Oldest D. **(History) When she was teen she was hanging with a really bad crowd and stole from XH...he never forgave her and has been angry ever since.** Stated she thru a monkey wrench into his life and he wishes he could say it was for the best. Not(DIRECT QUOTE)
OK So he is still angry on this.
I acknowledges his hurt and then proceeded to tell him that we all have demons in our closet, myself inc and that as adults we have to grow from these....I told him that she regrets what she did back then and that she was young...and has told me how sorry she was. I did not say to him about his demons of drugs and alcohol or the OW that destroyed our family...which I so wanted to do...but then I was going backwards if I did...
XH told me he was happy that I bought a house and asked if it was from our D settlement and I told him a small portion was, the rest I worked for and got a settlement from my GM estate...he then said good for you...
XH had to leave and said he would be back on later that he was sorry...
ok my question is...did I handle that right????
Anything good in life is worth waiting for! Take care of you!
