Brooklyn, Thanks so much - this was a much needed post! My oldest D came in today for the first time since H left. She has been wonderful! I have actually been able to cry and break down and she is now at an age that she has a maturity to handle it. She has a great fresh perspective on everything! It's been great for my S as well! Tomorrow my middle D comes home and I will have all of the kids at home! Thrilled!
H is now living out of his car - no place to go. He has taken another part time job - so at 47 he is working 5pm - 9:30pm and then 10pm-6am so that he can afford to rent a place on his own. BTW - we both have good careers and make good $. We have typical amount of debt from raising kids and paying for them to have a ton of experiences and opportunities. Vacations, memory makings, etc.
The bottom line is the kids see us as a family unit who have had this amazing life - and they can't figure out what has happened to their dad. It should be an interesting weekend. I am staying out of their way when they are with H.
Have a great weekend!
PS - I don't mean to pry - but are you still separated / no divorce? Do you still have contact at all with H?
