Ironic that my last post dealt with being estranged from my extended family. Right after I posted, I got a message from my Mom on FB. She asked if it's with me if D19 goes to a bridal shower for my sister's stepdaughter, who she has raised from very young after her mother died. I said "it's entirely up to her, but it's ok with me".
Just last week when D19 and I visited my Mom, we were thinking about going to visit another of my sisters. STBX heard about that and was less than thrilled. I agreed to respect STBX wishes and not take D19 that day, but did say she can do whatever she wants on her own. I know it's only a matter of time, without STBX being able to say I pushed for it.
It will be interesting to see how STBX handles this. There is no way she is going to want D19 anywhere she could hear stories about STBX and OM/Boss going back as much as 8-10 years. I think D19 already has some ideas. Not sure about S17.
Yes, I do love STBX, but at the same time, the thought of her house of cards tumbling a little, makes me smile. At least I can admit it. I just hope D19 is able to handle what she is going to hear at some point. Same thing for S17, who has his mom on a pedestal.
