Been there, done that lol. Voldy is a specialist at making me feel like a crappy father. Unless I'm in full panic mode about the kids at all times then I'm not fulfilling my parental role. There's Voldy's way... and that about covers it. I know how easy it is to get sucked into that big black hole lol. Good that you caught yourself falling into the old pattern. They'll milk it till it doesn't work anymore.
Wow. Just ditched her butt. She thanked me for my message last night. I messaged her with a quote I'd come across that I thought she might like. She messages me tonight. "Thank you. Have you caught any fish yet?" I thought it an odd question and I replied "just you and that's enough lol" She then replies "you're online all the time and you haven't caught anything yet?" I replied "All the best to you. Good luck." Wow. just like I said online dating is a weird and wacky world...and I'm rarely online...weird.
You two sure have the winners in the XW pile. That would certainly be a tiring dynamic. At least you both know that you really aren't missing anything by not being married to them anymore. I'm pretty sure, looking in my crystal ball, that in 20 years, both of you have daughters who are closer to you than their mothers.
Keep on keepin' on!

You said it Betsey! A lady asked me a week or so ago why I wouldn't want to get back together with my ex...and I said "because she's not a very nice person anymore" What more can you say?!
I'm going to be MIA until Monday, as D20 and her volleyball team are in flight and on their way to play in a tournament here in Colorado this weekend. Do you see me doing the happy dance? 'Cause I am! Her BFF and D17 are also uber excited. As is my dad, who is flying out from VA later today.
I offered to host dinner for the team and any family members who are coming. What was I thinking? We're up to 42 who have RSVPd. Yikes! I hope they aren't all expecting a banquet hall. I'll placate them with food and alcohol and maybe they won't realize that some people are just going to have to stand or sit on the floor...
So have a great weekend, everyone.
Betsey
