Game Point

I had a pretty relaxing weekend. Kids and I made dinner last night for Father's day, and W picked up S11 and S13 at about 10 PM to take to her place.

Noticing even more how much more 'at peace' I am when W is not around. Now that she has been spotted around town with OM I almost feel 'violated' when she is around my house. She has come by here and there while I was home to pick up kids, etc. I avoid talking to her but am not polite, but she definitely gets the hint that I don't enjoy her company.

I have a feeling she is struggling with the whole adjustment to not being around the kids full time. In fact, S18 lives with me full-time so she only sees him here and there.

The sad thing now is that the kids are split up for the first time in their lives. Whenever the younger ones are at her place they are away from S18, and sometimes D16 like last night. She is starting out having kids every other night 'so they can adjust' but I also think it is for her to adjust. Ultimately we agreed that we would go a week at a time, which we might not get to until they start school but I hope its sooner.

Oh well, its the choice she has made for them so she can pursue her single life!

I know a wake-up call is coming for her at some point. Maybe it will take her and OM blowing up, who knows.

Every day she is gone I feel more relief, even though this whole scenario is hard on the kids and devastating financially. However, I also have a lot of hope on the financial side given that things are really going well for me and for my company, and I may be in a different place financially some time in the next 12 months. Things are definitely looking up for me on that front.

Everybody who hears about this whole thing thinks she is nuts. A comment someone who just heard about the whole mess made to me about OM yesterday was "If she thinks the grass is greener she is crazy - that grass was dead 10 years ago!"
