Another Saturday morning I got up with the boys to play kickball in the backyard. Early into the game I hear a noise over by the neighbor's backdoor. I look over and my XW is in her underwear out on the backdeck and the neighbor starts grabbing his crotch making gestures at me.

I quickly made an excuse to go inside and got the boys inside. You see, their mother told them she had to work that Saturday and couldn't make her visitation. I didn't want them to see that and have them know the truth. For them. For me, I wanted to expose her to everyone for what she was and had become. The love for my boys won out.I thought about how bad they would have felt to know the truth and thought about the looks on their faces every time she disappoints them. That's the most important thing right now. Your boys. Keep those looks off their faces. You are the rock. They look up to you and will for the rest of their lives because of the way you are going to handle this.

Strength and Honor.
