I love to tell people the story of my dad and my step mom.
Yes, she was the affair partner. They married. I got to see FIRST HAND how sucky her life was with my dad.
He NEVER trusted her. Very paranoid, very controlling, very verbally ugly to her putting her down all the time because he didn't want her to leave HIM like he left my MOTHER.
My dad ruled the roost with an iron fist and they had to put up with each other because as I reminded her often, she broke up our family to get him--he is ALL HERS!! That used to PISS HER OFF!!!
Your H's story is far from over. My neighbor and her ex? Same thing--it's a pattern. This wasn't a love built on dating and courtship and all the beautiful stuff that love is based on.
It was based on lying, sneaking around, and sex. Nice. What a legacy.
You got the best of him, whatever that was. Time will show you that. You are a fantastic mom and wonderful gal who WILL be triumphant in the end!!
