Thought I'd relate something that struck me last evening. I was watching a show with the boys after a very nice dinner. Something one of the characters was saying about loving someone forever brought back my reaction to what xW had said just the other day.
I have already mentioned that xW had sent a response to my email letting her know my official disproval of her violation of our legal agreement. What I hadn't elaborated on is that not only did she deny and belittle my objection, she took the opportunity to tell me that I need to get used to the fact that OM would be in their lives "forever". (her exact word).
Well, that gave me a bit of cynical chuckle at the time. But I forgot about it until last evening while watching that show with my S's. And suddenly I recalled that email and started chuckling to myself -- I just couldn't help it.
S8 and S5 stopped and looked at me and got very curious why I was having this reaction. S8 asked me what it was that was so funny. I had to tell him it was nothing and never mind. He started to insist I spill the beans but fortunately the show we were watching got his attention again, and they both forgot about it. I couldn't help but continue to smile a bit longer.
Forever. She's used that phrase before, but if I have learned anything, there is no such word or concept for xW.
