My girls are devastated and did not attend. I took off from work just to keep them busy so they wouldn't have time to think. D16 is just angry - doesn't speak to OW and is distancing herself (again) from XH. D14 is just sad. Feels like she lost her dad. It is heartbreaking to watch this, knowing that there is nothing I can do to mend her heart. Both girls are predicting a divorce within 5 years. That tears me apart - that they think that a marriage can just be thrown away now.
I really don't know how I feel about it. I didn't shed a tear today. I am more upset that the girls have a step mother and step sisters, although neither acknowledge this. And I continue to be completely baffled by OW's behavior. She comforted me at the beginning of my separation - we were friends. Her XH cheated on her - how can she do this to another woman?
I don't come here much anymore - I now have the girls all the time and, as a result, have very little time. I look at all the names here - new names - and it is just so sad and so hard to comprehend. It is so painful to read some of these stories - they all mirror one another with just different details.
