I'm trying. Distancing myself is kind of tough. We have 5 kids and see each other 5 to 7 times a week right now. I'm working on the whole positive, self-confident thing here even though the truth is I don't feel very positive or self-confident. In fact, I feel pretty crappy... but I'm trying. Yesterday, my H's new girlfriend showed up at the school I teach at -- Yes, believe it or not, she is a police officer (so is my husband), and she came to the school to present a program to our grade 5's on values and influences. I wanted to scream and yell that she knows nothing about values, but I was calm and just ignored her. It was VERY difficult, but I did it. Today my H showed up at my daughter's basketball practice, so I left and went to the mall for a bit. I'm finding it hard to differentiate between screaming, begging and crying and then totally ignoring and acting bitchy and bitter. I need to find a happy medium!
