My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

[hoosiermama]

thanks, BeingMe. Been doing some stuff around the house, sorry I missed you.

Yes, exH seems to value his relationships with the "OW"'s (guess she's not exactly the "other woman" at this point) adult daughters and grandson much more than with D13. At least, that's how D feels, and has given me numerous valid reasons. The older daughter was 3 when they were together the first time, and he seems happy to have reconnected with her; the grandson, now ~1 1/2, and who D often feels forced to babysit, perhaps fills the place of the sons we lost in stillbirths. These are D's thoughts. And she feels very resentful of his insistence to "friend" them all on fb, call, text, go to movies, etc. To a certain extent she can refuse to do things, but being just 13, she has limited options if he forces the issues. It worries me considerably that this is all happening when she's 13, because of that potential for affecting her future relationships.

I'm afraid others don't see much "awesomeness" in me. This has been an extremely difficult day to get thru; no contact with anyone except a few friends from here. It's very painful to be this alone, and with no end in sight. It's one of those "one breath at a time" days.
