Glad to know I am not alone Wiki & SIAS. Thanks for checking in 2tp.
All and all a good weekend. Still one more interaction with H to go so its not over yet.
Thursday, spent the day with my family and large extended family at my parents house. I told extended family that H had missed his flight back but would be back home by friday. Ugh.. I hate lying. No one asked too many questions especially since I have another cousin who is going through her own tough times - it keeps the spot light off me.
My H & I were the golden couple of the family and my cousins & aunts & uncles would have a hard time believing this was going on.
Friday, H & I meet at a train station where we exchanged the kids. It was a hard one. My D3 was so excited to see her daddy who she hadnt seen in a month. She was dressed super cute and ran over to him and said "Daddy Daddy" It was so beautiful.
I was choked up during the exchange which I didnt want to be and usually am not. I guess the holidays...
H noticed I was holding back the tears and said "I am sorry". I didnt respond to that just continued to tell him what I had packed and what the girls might need on the trip.
H asked if I was headed back to my parents I said no I was going to the city and going to hop on the next train. I was very intriguing.
He texted me later that his several hour drive to his parents with the girls was great, the girls slept the whole way. I text "that is awesome that they slept. yOu can thank me later;)" He wrote back "Thank you"
The next night when I called to say good night to the girls. He tried to get them to engage in conversation with me though they were both in melt down mode. He told my D3 to "tell mommy you love" her several times.
Trying not to read too much into any of these exchanges.
It was fine but I pray this isnt our story. I pray that every Thanksgiving I will not have to go the movies with a girlfriend and not my kids.
Seems to me that my H is happy with the new me but not happy enough to want be back. H is happy to have our Oh So Joyful Co-parenting Lives. Look how great this can be. Look how we can be friends and lead seperate lives.
I am going to try to be all smiles during our next exchange in a few hours. Should be easier since the girls are coming home and not leaving.
All & all good weekend. Missed being on the board but was glad to be busy GALing away.
