I'll check out the thread on detachment. I must be getting pretty good, because I find myself laughing and smiling a lot more. I keep wondering why I'm not weeping, and other than my kids having a father, I guess I'm realizing that he is an ass.
We have issues, we argue A LOT. If it weren't for the torment my kids were going through, I wouldn't even care that he is gone. We actually spend very little time together. He comes home and starts playing a game about 2 hours after arrival.
Yes, these new work friends are all guys. Most of them 20-somethings.
I'm pretty sure his sister has neen diagnosed with depression, and all of them have alcohol issues. My H goes for long periods of time without drinking, then he starts hanging out with young people and turns into a frat boy.
I fully intend to have a great weekend. I smile at the idea that not being with his kids for T or T is gonna eat him alive. He loves that kind of stuff. Plus, he must feel like crap that they kids told him they didn't want to spend Halloween with him. Ouch. *evil grin*
Have fun with your girls. I bet they look adorable in their costumes.
