Yes my W too has an OM and the kids dislike him very much. I don't say anything when they complain about him. I think you might be right that they don't want D. I had an incident where another single mom----- would that be ASM? Not sure of abbreviations, was asking W about me and how she would feel if I dated....This was told to me by W and when I asked her what she said one of the kids ran in and changed the subject and it has never been revisited. I don't think W would like it very much. Yes I remember you sitch when it would take a step down how it still affected you. I just don't want my brain to get so scrambled that it changes me, like I have seen it change some people for good. I often pray that this or that happens but I think I am asking for the wrong things, rather than to be strong through this and come out stronger through the other end some day. I have been drifting around alone for a while and I think this site helps a lot compartmentalize all these fears that we come up with. And it is nice to know that there are other people out there that know what we are going through....I feel embarrassed about this in my community so I have not reached out to many people about this.
