Wow, so much going on! Happy belated birthday! I can't believe that your ex and his wife could be so selfish and cruel! good for your kids for seeing through them both and sticking up what is right.

Big hugs Alison.

World's smartest hamster learns to escape cage and return at will. Rumor is that hamster goes off on wine drinking excursions.

So it has been a while since you have posted. Are things going better or about the same? Just checking in and saying Hi!

Didn't realise it was so long since I posted. I guess that means that I'm probably finally on the road to healing

Nothing much has changed here. None of the kid have heard from XH except D14 and that's only b/c she contacted him. She has decided to go and stay next week as she should. Not b/c she wants to see her dad but b/c she is missing her baby sister and she doesn't want XH to tell her that she can't see her like he has D20 and S17.

I definately cross a mountain peak at the weekend. I ordered a christening present for the baby from my children. As she was born in Jan her birthstone is garnet. So I have ordered two loose mandarin garnets in a presentation box. That way when she is old enough she can decide how to have them set. My S17 was gobsmacked and told me I was amazing and a very thoughtful person.

A,
You are amazing! That is a very nice and thoughtful gift. I'm sure when she's older, she'll doing something special with them. You are an excellent role model for your children!

How are you doing?

[ACJ]

Snodderly all things considered I'm going great thank you. From time to time I get very low cos I'm lonely but it passes.

What everyone else said.

But I am also appalled that they will not take care of the hamster. It is living creature, not a thing.

[Andabelle]

What a wonderful gesture! A great gift to your children as well-- they're able to feel free to love their sister without fear of recrimination.

I've got a feeling that little girl is going to need all their love and support some day.

[Andabelle]

Ditto on the hamster. Those people are sick. They are holding the poor thing hostage to keep your D14 over there.

[ACJ]

D14 has decided to go and stay with XH this week purely b/c she wants to see her baby sister. I support her fully on this. I suspect it will be a rocky ride for the poor love considering she refused to go last time and she is currently the only one of my 3 children who is interacting with him in anyway. My fear is that OW will take out her frustrations on D14. However, I know she is now able to cope with that and will have no qualms about coming home if she feels threatened in any way.
