Moving back in

[DDogs]

Robx,

been back in the home now, on my second night. When I got home I unpacked my things and my D10 (who stayed overnight at her GF's house on Bat Sh@t night) was sitting on the couch drawing. I went to her hugged her and told her I had some good news, Dad was back staying in the house! I told her Mom and dad still have things to sort out, but I missed you kids so much, that I couldn't stay away any longer, I needed them and they needed their dad.... D10 jumps off the couch with huge wide eyes, jumps grabs on and hugs me for dear life ans tells me, "Dad, I love you so much!".... what a feeling..

I separated the S15/D12 and asked them if they had any questions. They both said no. I told them, "I'm sorry that you had to see M&D argue like that last nite. I hope your not scared... you kids did not do anything wrong, this is a problem that M&D have to resolve.."

I then felt I had to respond to what W said in their presence on Bat Sh@t nite, "guys, Mom says she wants a D from dad,,, I do not, I want to heal the M and stay M... right now mom is upset/mad/scared and probably not too sure what she wants to do and thats ok she can have her feelings, they are hers... kinda like when I felt overwhelmed and needed to take a breather to get myself feeling better.. and I did and I'm back here."

"Right now, Mom says she wants to do that,, if she does she may return like I did, but that is her choice to make...she also said she wants you kids to go with her.. I disagree, I think it's healthier/better for you guys to remain here in your own home, with you things, neighbors friends.. but if mom does and she takes you with her and you feel you don't want to.... contact me as soon as you can and I'll arrange to get you back here..."

"I came back here because I realized how much I love and miss you and don't want to be a part time dad.. I need to be here with you and for you, because that's what good dads do, they are there for for you..."

I asked but D12/S15 had no questions, and I reminded them if they ever felt like talking about it, anytime, just ask and I will talk with them and also tell them the truth as best I can.. I can't imagine lies, half lies, misstatements, intentional omissions being laid out on the kids only for them to find out years later they've been misled...

W cam home at 430, and went to work collecting all of her bathroom/beauty supplies from my master Bath and sets up in the guest room. W takes a nite side table from the Master BR and moves it as well. (the guest room is 14x14, has only a day bed, corner shelf and a closet, looks pretty sparse).

I then took the kids to the store to shop for dinner. I asked W if she'd like anything, she replied, "just get for the kids, I'll eat my own food" wtf?

I brought back stuff, we ate, offered W some, again., "No, that's ok, I eat my own food."

That was the extent of conversation for the whole evening with an added yes/no answer tossed in. She was very quiet, my assessment, either very pissed but found out/realized she had no legal stand point to make the statements she did last night and is now stewing.... or she has something planned that she is working on,,, either way, I don't care.. I'm not gloating just happy with the fact that I stood up for my self and she swimming in the consequences of her actions...
