It drove me crazy because she seemed so calm about the situation, and I had to ask myself -- am I the only one who cares and is upset about the dissolution of my family?
But then eventually her emotions come pouring out.
Be ready to listen and support when that time comes.


I will do.

Think my S is angry at times but one of my 180s with son is saying I love him very day and also asking him how his day has been and generally just being there for him and talking to him . Which I have seen such a change in him and I know he said to his sister he likes how close we have become.
Shame it took W his mum to leave to make this happen .
I was such a fool not realising how bad our R was.

With regards D I believe she is in a bubble where she doesn't really understand what's happened . Only the other day she was talking about me and W going halfs on her big Christmas present . I was thinking no way and thinking it was Ws idea then it turns out it was D idea.
S thinks the same that she doesn't really understand what's going on.
