Wow....just got the longest spew-laden email ever.
He hatessssssssssssssss me. Said he would tell the kids its all dad's fault bc it is true he left, but it is bc he couldn't stand living with the most selfish person in the world. So I can hate him for hurting the kids but he already hates me for the same...
And that is the extremely condensed version...sheesh.
Hey BBJ---sorry this has been a s*** day. I think that YOU will feel alot better and in turn be able to lead your kiddos alot better after you tell them. I also think that in this case it would be better for the kids to hear your story b/c you never know what kind of crazed wacky story XH and XMIL maybe trying to conjure up.
My XW still has not told some of her family members about the D b/c she has not had enough time to build her case up to them---I would not be surprised, check that I would almost bank on it that XH of yours is trying to pint his own picture about what is going on and when/if he gets around to telling the kids it will be in a way that they will think you messed up not him.
Hang in there and thinking about you, I know how tough this has to be for you

Not that it justifies a single idiotic thing he has done today - but I suspect Dan may have received a bit of "intel" on your Friday night date and it has sent him spinning up into the ceiling. Dan cannot tolerate what Dan cannot control.
I did reply. I just said, "So you didn't mention when/where we will meet to review what we say when we tell the kids. Since you are busy tomorrow I will come over tonight after they are in bed and we can review the plan."
If he ducks out of it I will tell them by myself tomorrow. He can add it to the list of things he hates about me....
If he agrees we will review tonight and then tell them together Wednesday. I am not at all worried about him telling them beforehand without me. Because my Nathan knows me so well. I have made it clear to him from the get go that I love his daddy and have fought for us to be together. He will know who tried and who did not.
