Separated and on a Walk

[paul19510]

From upthread:

I spoke with W this morning and told her that I knew that she had been smoking for years, that many others knew and that she lied to me about it for years and asked others (including my D's) to do the same. its not the act iteself but what the act and the cover up symbolized that helped me decide it was time for next steps.

It seems significant that she told others but not you. Was there reason for her to be concerned about your response?
Hi bug. Apparently thst and the fact th at shes been vetning her hurts about me and m to our kids for a kong time. They really had a bad opinion of me crom fhe stuff she said to them. Once I knew that fhere was nothing fo stand for. She flat ouf told my D16 that fhe only reason she stayed this long wa s because I msde really good money. I apologized fo my child thstbshe hsd bedn exposdd to that. Time to get healthy and leave this awfulness behind.
Maybe it was just the straw that broke the camel's back for you.
