I do have concerns for my D, who was not even 2 when STBXH moved out.

She cried and cried when he moved out. She often asks about him and says she misses him.

I see a lot of desperate attempts to get H's attention, and hope this doesn't translate into unhealthy behaviors as she gets older.

I think when parents are happy and healthy, the children have more support. You back each other up.

OW's father cheated on her mother.

Anyway.

As you may or may not be aware, Ian and myself are having discourse about feeling sad for the kids.

I am wondering, trapt, SoCo and FIB.

Do you guys feel sad for your kids? Did you, don't you? And as important, why or why not?


I might be late to the party but I have an excuse ~ I needed new shoes grin

Although I guess I wasn't asked...I'm answering. Hope that's ok. When I was going through the separation & divorce, I did feel sad for Peanut. I felt I had failed her. Now though, I look at the kind of marriage we had, and realize that although divorce isn't perfect (obviously), the example our marriage was setting for her was worse. I still get angry when it comes to her though ~ because how hard is it to spend time with your child? (I guess it gets harder when you now have 3 from 3 different women! ?HA!) Luckily she doesn't seem to say much anymore about his lack of involvement. She's content with every other weekend. That's sad to me though. I don't get not wanting to be around or in contact with your child daily.

*sigh*

LMFAO!!!!!

Dude....at my expense or not.....

That shitt was GOOOD!!!

I'll give credit where credit is due.

All I have to say is ....no. I would let Boat 14 anywhere near my bed.

Actually, He's in the kitchen cooking a pork loin, Texas chilli and a few side dishes. I don't think my kitchen has ever seen so much real food since I moved in.

Think.....Julia Childs man.

LMAO!!
