Oh, man, AJ. I know. It's tough. We have a great r, but you know, I get the 13-yr-old stuff too. It's funny because I have seen her act protective over me. I hadn't really thought about it the way you are describing. It's not like I've played the victim; I have apologized to them for what they are experiencing. Is that what you mean? Like, being accountable for my part in the r?
The kids have expressed that they know I was here and that it was all so unexpected- for all of us. D13 seems really upset with xh, to say the least.
She has shown NO interest in hww. Her very good friend knows her and told d13 how pretty hww is. D13 has never seen her and said, "Don't worry, Mom. You are much prettier."
I don't want her to feel like she has to protect me. I don't know. I'm confused by it. I know when I was her age and my parents were d, I was fully aware that my dad was an alcoholic and chose that over his family and job. But I took it out on my mom. Is that what you mean?
I am just trying to clarify, because I am really worried about it.
