W left for FL yesterday - it was hard to watch her drive away from the house and our life together. She kissed my check, hugged me briefly, and said - "see you in two weeks" (that is when I will be taking my D11 down to FL to be with W). It was really hard - but I'm not going to let it defeat me. It was Fathers Day, and I spent it with my two daughters. Went into pool with D11 and also went mini golfing with both daughters later in the day. Cooked dinner and had a sit down meal with them. Made it a good day.
I spoke to my FIL down in FL and he insisted that I stay at their house when I am down there to drop my D11 off in two weeks - made me feel very good - says he doesn't like what's transpired, but accepts it, hopes it changes, but I am the father of his grandchildren and I always will be that to him, so I am always welcome and I would be disrespecting him if I didn't stay whenever I am down there, no matter what his daughter (my W) thinks.
Thinks will be awkward, but for my D11 sake, I will go with the flow - I know the way to get thru all of this is to go on, be strong, act mature, and show "confidence" in the way I handle myself to the world.
Hope all is well out there with everyone else - I haven't been hitting too many other sitch's, just kind of dealing with my own - and I'm doing ok.
