Hi Wonka. I have read many of your posts. I respect them very much. I usually don't journey out of MLC, but tonight I did and happened upon your thread.
It is funny how, for me, maybe I forget that the vets may still struggle with some of these things still. I guess I was hoping that I would eventually move past this and forget about it. I knew deep down that was nearly impossible, since we have kids. There will be graduations, weddings, grandkids. Ugh, just typing that gave me a sick feeling in my stomach. Things I dreamed about doing together. Things we talked about. Ok... moving on...
Anyway, honestly, it was such a relief to read you reaction to OW. I'm sorry, I don't mean that to sound insensitive. I know it is a tough thing for you. But I struggle with this. I don't think I could ever respect hww (ow) either. But the truth is, she will always have a presence in my life. She was (and is) pregnant with my h's baby (now xh). So she will have my kids' sibling. I hate that. Not only does it take away from me being the "mother of his children".... well... whatever... it irrelevant.
I am relieved to hear you, someone I respect, feel like, forget it! I am not going to EVER respect this person, accept her, or have a r with her.
Not that I ever would, but I just know it is a long haul with this.
Well, anyway, best of luck to you, Wonka. I will continue to read your advice to others. It is quite valuable to many.
