Haven't posted for awhile. I've moved. W's brother and bil along with a friend helped me move. This all in anticipation of a court order removing me from the house which never came. Haven't heard anything from the court as far as my plea for 50/50 or for a final hearing. So I'm living in my w's sisters house. They moved to her inlaws do to fil death. They need nothing at their new residence. Everything at their old house which is for sale is still there. Furnishings, kithen, appliances, food, dirty laundry, everything. So I'm in a 4000sf house by myself a lot. Still have trouble sleeping and miss my fam. Kids spent the weekend with me and they were ok. Tried to stay busy while at the house, getting their rooms livable etc. Will have them for dinner tonight. I even invited SD-13. We'll see if she comes. Gave her a ride to park last night on the way to soccer practice. If I'm good enough to give her rides and have over for dinner, am I not good enough to be her step dad and her mom's husband?
Moving day was weird, we all had lunch together at the legion. Helped with getting w's bedroom set-up with furniture from house I moved into because she gave me our good furniture. That really made sense to swap MB furniture between houses. Whatever. Good thing I only live 5 min away. House I'm at has a lot of clutter. Just too much stuff but hey I can't complain. It's big, it's open and on a lake. The kids like it there so there I am staring at the geese. Could be worse. Could be in an 500sf apt paying same rent. I really appreciate their offer. Not many other rentals in the area.
So today she finally goes to parenting class that I attended in July. I talked with instructor and asked him to stress certain things that he taught. Maybe, just maybe she will listen to a professional, educated third party that's saying the same thing everyone else is saying. "Keep the family together at all cost".
She's really stubborn without being in MLC mode, so it would take a miracle. Please pray for one today.
In the meantime, I'll keep GALing and give her the space she so desparately needs. Going to play some guitar with a group at a coffee house tomorrow night. Should be fun!
