Still in the marathon - did I miss a turn?

Room for one more adoptee? I think jb would need to change his username to Brangelina at that point though.

Sure, why not? We can have one big 'ol GAL'ing par-tay! I think I may pass on the username change though.

Anyway, I'm stunned at how your W still refuses to see how her actions are affecting your S, jb.

TBH, I think part of it is those two had problems off and on before the bombs. She has off and on over the years had trouble connecting with him. Hopefully the realization of the ramifications of her decisions won't be too late.

But yes, having a twice D'd sister as a confidant does not seem very logical.

I would agree. That influence scares me a bit. Her older sister had had her daughter with some man she never married, married and divorced a guy who was abusive, and married and divorced a guy who seemed pretty decent, but she was convinced he would never change. She now dating and is as giddy as high school girl. My W has also become friends with a leasing consultant at her apartment complex who has three kids - not sure if she's ever been married and not sure if the kids are from a single father - and she's 29 yrs. old.

I didn't mention earlier she was going out to dinner tonight with another divorced friend. This friend, however, is a LBS. Her H had an A with someone he worked with. So I'm not as concerned about that influence and there's an outside possibility it could be a good influence.
