My W sent me a text to tell me she moved out. (Nice huh?) I think her conscience was weighing on her and it helped her feel better about herself to try to cushion the blow for me. (F-ing thanks!) Maybe that's what your H was doing. He may be trying deep down to reach for some way to tell himself that he is doing something right. Trying to convince himself that he's looking out for his kids. (Obviously he's not doing what's best for them so he's reaching for anything)

Maybe I'm reaching, but it makes sense that they try to do someing like that (give the warning) to feel better about themselves.

Who knows, EB. Never in a million years would I have thought he would treat his kids this way.

Sorry to hear your W texted you. That's pretty cold.

I can totally relate. My S just called W in tears that she's not here. It don't seem to affect her in the least.

They're just weird. Invasion of the body Snatchers may be coming to life ; (

That's just sad. I cannot imagine not being affected by my children's tears. Clearly she isn't in her right frame of mind. I actually feel like of bad for our spouses. They have to live with what they've done.

Exactly.

My mom was a WAW. She carries so much guilt still. It's been over 25 years.

She talks about herself at the time like she's talking about another person. It's really sad. Worse yet, something she brought on herself.

I think I'd feel guilty forever if I pulled a stunt like this. This is why I can feel some shreds of empathy for my H. What he is doing is just sad. I hope he can repair the damage he is causing with his children.

He spent TG alone, and now he'll be alone on Christmas. It's heartbreaking...

My W spent Thanksgiving by herself in her new place too. Very sad.
S and I had a nice big meal with friends. W sat by herself.

The real sad part is when they finally come out of the fog and realize what they have done.

My H has a lease on his apartment, so he won't be coming out of it anytime soon.

Will you be spending Christmas with your son? I usually dread Christmas, but this time I'm quite excited about the new traditions I'll be making with my kids.

I have no idea what will happen by Christmas. W has only been out for 5 days. Who knows what the future holds...
