Her oldest works for a company that handles storm damage
Yes, irony, or the fact the big man upstairs sometimes has a twisted sense of humor?
A thought on your C an dwhy you feel the way you do. It's funny you should mention 'do-overs'. There are A LOT of situations in the evolution and aftermath of my sithc that I wish I could do-over. Most of which, and bashful to say, besuace I was passive at the moment the event occured. Whether it be to not say or do anything to 'offend' X, make me look bad to the kids, because I was in shock, or what not.
That said, I think we carry that thought of "man, what if I did this or that differently?" around with us. Maybe to remember the next time we're in that situation, or maybe ot just purely haunt ourselves, I don't know.
I know I was always 'queitly' infuriated by the presence of OM. I would give XW hints that he needed to leave or something would happen, but never fully said or expressed anything to her, barring the "can we get him the F out of here" in the court room to her L. But I never said anything in front of the kids. Well, last time I dropped them off and I had to take S12 up to the porch, OM was stnading inside the front door and gave me his snyde little look as I consoled my son. Without even thinking about it, I blurted out "you have some kind of problem!?!" an dhe slammed the door and went a tirade to XW. S11 was apparently siiting in the chair by the door inside and came out laughing his butt off saying it was funny how upset OM got, and that S11 didn't know I had that kind of 'spunk' in me. (I don't start things, but I sure can finish them).
I don't know if that helps shed any light or not?
