Trying to move on

[ClingingToHope]

So after seeing D7 at her school -- she was the first to get the shot and did fine -- I stopped by the house to see how D10 was doing.

She asked if I was mad she stayed home. I said no. She said W thought I was mad.

She also said W called me a j*ck*ss when she hung up the phone.

I told D10 that W never asked me to help. If she had, I would have been able to work out something, but she never asked.

D10 looked confused. I told her I was going to pretend she never told me what W said because I don't want her to get into the middle of it.

As far as I can remember, I have not called W a name in front of the girls. D10 did overhear my conversation this weekend with a friend where I said her reasons for divorcing me are "a bunch of cr*p."

I'll just have to file it away that W isn't playing by the same rules. It's not really a surprise. She almost always reacts poorly when there's trouble at work.
