I'm with you there dad. I am looking forward to moving into my new home and being away from W. Unfortunately, that also means being away from the kids. W wants to take the kids away the week-end when I move because it will be too hard on them. I said to her, maybe they'll want to help me move. With the pool at the new house, I thought maybe we could even make it fun!
Hang in there FFH, things will get better. W just took my kids and their friends to the beach and I felt like tearing up for just a second, but thosse feelings are farther and farther apart these days.
It is interesting to hear the comments from your in-laws and they provide further proof that these WAW's really are messed-up. I have yet to talk to my MIL since our first conversation in June and I haven't talked to her other family members either, so it will be interesting to see them again eventually.
You are strong FFH. You will be fine, just don't spend too much time by yourself. Get out to the neighbors and chat with them. Find some friends to spend time with. Go to the gym. Just find something to relieve you from your thoughts.
Hang in there man. She may yet decide that she is making a mistake, just don't sit around and count on it.
please continue to let us know how things progress.
