I've Come Full Circle #27

[kat727]

I have always told the teachers about the divorce, especially with the boys because they do seem to have a harder time. I told the girls teachers last year and they were glad I did. I was glad we were able to get through the girls without bringing up ugly feelings so I didn't say anything now and the girls are doing very well. I will probably drop an e-mail later to both of them.

Ex did S14's parent teacher conference and I did the other three last year. I said I was fine if he went while I had the others as long as he explained about the divorce...turns out he never did it. Since he is the child having the hardest time with this, I made sure each of his teachers were aware of the current situation as well. All of his teachers were very supportive and told me what an amazing child he is. Since we switched his math class he is maintaining an A so the class with the issue is science and his teacher is giving him additional feedback and he is improving.

The hurt I felt wasn't a longing for him but it felt like another point for the "bad guys". You know...I stayed, I am raising 4 kids, I am doing 98% of the transportation for S17 back and forth to work. I'm not dating yet and they get to continue their fantasy life. Maybe a tad woe is me. Yesterday just showed that I am fine, I don't have some evil streak in me that prevents me from trying to keep him informed on their education. I think he saw that too.
