MLC, H and me

[newmama]

When H first left, I sat the kids down and said that their Dad was going through something and had to work on it and think about things...now that he has filed and they know about OW...it has been a little tougher.

see?? I was right about you too- you didn't just say "dad left us. I don't know why." And maybe they see OW as an example of how their dad s "going through something" aka not in his right mind!

D11, out of the blue said something about how short OW is...I am only 5'2" and "she is shorter than you Mom!" I could feel my insides bristling...hard to hear about her from my kids mouths!

I am so sorry. That is something I feel grateful for in my sitch-that S can't talk yet so I don't have to hear about it. How do you respond?

thanks for your advice on my thread, CW. I am following it! I am serious about learning from watching how you and WN handle issues with the kids!
