It's too hard sometimes

[TooLateForMe]

Upset and embarrassed I went off on here about D(13). Read some of her posts on facebook tonight and she's having problems with middle school social life. Stuff she doesn't talk to me about. It's heartbreaking things about how other kids are "abandoning" and that she feels everyone will abandon her, including her family. I feel like a monster now.

here's a tip for anyone considering leaving your family: DON'T. Not unless there is no other option.

I left for relationship reasons and could have done the work to fix things without leaving. My W and I didn't argue all the time. We weren't abusive to each other or the kids. General unhappiness is not an excuse to tear your family apart. Get up off of your butt and make the changes in yourself before you do more damage trying to "fix" things. Ugh! I could rant forever on this.

I'm also coming to the realization that our MC had a bit of a feminist agenda. She was very touchy-feely, focusing more on my W--not a lot, but seemed very interested in W's deeper psychological state. C also ignored a VM I left her about resources for personal counseling that were closer to me. I have a nasty feeling that a lot of my W's resolution not to give in to her feelings for me come from her now one-on-one sessions w/ the C.
