I tried, I changed, but still am getting divorced!

Thank you for your comments! I will figure out how to relate to my inlaws somehow.

Wow...am a little overwhelmed with this new change of a new grade and new team and new classroom and new life as a teacher who is a single mom. But it will get better! I know it will.

I really miss S. Last time I saw him was 7:20 this morning (it is 9 p.m. now) and I won't see him until 3 something p.m. tomorrow.


I am supposed to take him to visit my stbxSIL and MIL tomorrow. But I reserve the right to cancel if I feel like it is too much and I just want to be with him all alone.

Told one other person at school on my grade level team about the reason for the divorce...her H left her for an OW 12 years ago. He stayed with her for a few years (married her even) and then left her for his high school sweetheart that he reconnected with on Facebook. Her H had 2 kids with the OW, and those kids became half siblings to my teacher friend's kids.

I guess there are 3 of us at the school who belong to "The Divorced Wives Club."

Something else interesting was that my teacher friend said she is always sure to NOT BE A THREAT to other married women...she only looks at the wives in a couple, she avoids being alone with married men, etc. I feel and think and do the exact thing!! It felt nice to know someone else had the same perspective.
