And that is why my family and other real life friends know very little about what has happened. I vented mostly here and elsewhwere online and in emails with other internet friends.
Wish it were that easy, however, (x)W made it known to the world she had OM to spite me in the wimbs of her WAS fanatics. Not too much I could do to keep it on the down low from anybody. So, the only burden to carry on my shoulders in that regards is to assure those friends and family that I know what I am doing and I know the consequences of what may happen in the event that this doesn't work out.
That said, last night was not so bad. It would seem my cousin has taken the time while I was away to detach herself from my situation with (x)W and let me deal with it as it is solely my problem. So we talked, all is fine, she said her peace as always that she worries about the antics of (x)FIL and younger (x)BIL, not so much (x)W and just wants me to watch my back. Then of course we hashed out some of the financial issues of things and all is done.
She did ask if I was moving in (x)W sooner than expected adn I said "yes, the boys need stability in their lives, and just the few days I spent saw a dramatic difference upon their completion". She seems to agree, so, at least, it's off my chest and out there. Coincidently, S12 called and kept me on the phone for a bit and he himself asked why I wasn't there and when we'd all be a permanent family again," as he likes it. That was heart warming. The first few days he's been on the combative side with me, but then warms up. I know it has to deal with his attachment to OM and just being confused overall. I think the moment we get everything straght and we are on our own and on a daily routine, he will be just fine in very little time.
So, life's little dilemas in that regard, not so bad. Now if I can just get my truck fixed or replaced, things are well. If not, I guess I'm gonna have to lean at the option of giving my balance I owe to my cousin out of the settlement check adn either buy a cheap clunker to get around, or more likely finish (x)W's truck she's been having her brother work on. So, there are options.
