Well, as I arrived home today, two of my stepsons were fishing down at the pond. I came in, changed, grabbed my pole and went down to fish with them. We have been there for about 2 hours. I was doing my best not to bring up their father, just friendly chit-chat, when SS25 brought him up. It seems that OW is not only not divorced, she's no where near. And she is likely to get ripped in hers.
They are also losing patience with their father, and said is has about quit trying to hide the drinking. He even called their brother, who is stationed in Colorado in the Air Force, up at 1 A.M. and called him everything in the book. Left it on his voicemail. Then called back the next morning to apologize.
I told them their father truly loved them, and that I honestly feel bad for him, that I wish things could be different, but it's out of my control. As one SS said, "He needs God to lay his hands on him bad."
All of this shouldn't have made me feel good, but it did in the respect that I am assured I am loved by my Stepsons. They took H's GGM's sewing machine and mothers dishes with them so he has no other excuse to come out here.
I plan to do a lot of mowing and outside work tomorrow, staying as busy as possible.
I really don't know what I'd do without you guys to come to and let it all out. I appreciate each and every one of you so much. I will get through this, and I will have so many of you on this Board to Thank.
Have a good evening, everyone.
