Well, we survived Thanksgiving alone. The kids and I ran in a local Turkey Trot (their first) they did great and I am so proud. They have never run with me before. New traditions.

Then we hung out at home, did a little cooking and then went to a neighbors for dinner.

The father called at 1:00 to say Happy Thanksgiving. My son shared with me later that his dad had text him earlier to say the same thing and that my S didn't reply... he said "really who text their own kids Happy Thanksgiving" H never asked to see them or anything. D told me that he told her that he was drinking beer (which she said was weird cause he never drinks in the day and not much at night) and watching football.

Well I don't know about you but that sounds like heaven... who knows if he was alone but I suspect he was unless his OW likes to gamble... cause don't know you know he took even more out today to do that at a Casino. So guess that's his new exciting life... strangers, cards, and who knows what else.

So, that's it... I successfully had 3 glasses of wine with dinner and I was fine... no desire to call H, no desire to cry. I think I am angry. I am trying to let it go for now.

I look forward to the day when my feelings will be nuetral towards H. I hope it's soon.

On the plus side, I don't think I have called or text him first since he has been gone.

My kids don't want to go spend the night with him Sat. night. He wants them to... they dont'... counseler says don't make them...lawyer says to make them..... confusing to say the least.

Any ideas... they are 13 & 15

H wont' force them to come stay with him cause you know he's not gonna "fight" to see his kids. I wonder what he would deem worthy of fighting over if not your own kids....
