Chatter, no problem.

I feel okay on this because we saw a counselor with 25 years of experience and everything he say rang true with me. His viewpoint is that my H needed to move out of the house (check), talk to the kids about how we are divorcing (not yet done), wait 6-8 months (not yet done), and then the kids are ready to meet OW. To do so earlier deprives them of their ability to adjust to our marriage ending and see that they can be okay with both mom and dad. Ideally, both parents show the kids that they will be fine with the separate families.

As much as I would like to have the kids meet OW to show them what a scum their dad is...that may really hurt them at this point. They will eventually know the truth but they don't need to know it now.

I have covered for him for a year...it is definitely getting old and trust me...I have triggers going off left and right.
