Sweetie, a big Texan hug would feel mighty fine right now! I'll hug myself and pretend it's you.
We (my kids & I, SS25, his father and stepmother) have promised each other we are not going to let my W ruin our relationship. Of course SS22 is right there with us..he just can't verbalize it.
I fear W will never wake up, or she will see what she's doing and just ignore it. Either way, she will repeat her cycle of tossing people aside for the rest of her life. It really is tragic, because the W I married was intelligent, talented, funny, deeply faithful to God, caring, sensitive and fun to be around. She was the "light up the room" type of person with her personality and her drop dead gorgeous looks. Somewhere in the last several years, that person disappeared.
Little by little, I am disengaging from the drama. It is a slow and sometimes painful process, but it is the only way I will come out of this with my self-esteem and self-respect intact.
