From Michele's perspective, it is almost like Kim is trying to "one up" you. In addition, Michele may feel that Kim is trying to make you jealous, so to speak, and interfere with your relationship. Reassure her that you could care less what Kim is doing, and that you only have eyes for her. Women tend to be a little insecure when it comes to the X.
As far as her 12 year old, it is a phase. Make sure you include her in activities, but you may both need to sit down with her and set the boundaries. Reassure her that you are not going anywhere, and although you are not her father, you would like to be her friend. See if you can get some input, but girls at this age can also be very manipulative. (I have three daughters, so I know my subject material VERY well.) There needs to be mutual respect, and firmness, but in a loving way. Make sense?
As for drinks, glass of champagne and a toast to you, and congratulations!!!!!
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
