I hate to break this to you but one day both of your daughters will realize the "act" you and your W presented to them for a very long time. Ask any child of divorce. If they have not already eventually they will "get it".

So you would rather rely on your W then find a solution for childcare which you will need to do sooner than later as a single dad?

Drew is right - you have to live with your choices and since you have clearly made choices already what else is there to say to you?

You know, my H e-mailed me two days ago about nothing. I ignored him. He e-mailed my y'day and I ignored that too. Today he texted me wanting to know why I was ignoring him. For a brief second I thought about responding for the 7000th time as to why I choose not to be his friend. Then I decided I was tired of being a broken record. Ya either get it or ya don't!

As long as he is still bedding the woman he cheated on me with and unable to address the enormous pile of crap that he created then there is simply no place for him in my life. EVER. I did my part and he chose not to do his. No problem!
