Walk away wife after 22 years part 2

[Ahoy]

South, I'm so sorry that your W's behavior is impacting the kids. It's so hurtful, and there's nothing we can really do about it without being labeled the bad guy. Be glad that your kid is seeing a C -- I can't get mine to go right now.
On the one hand, I envy the fact that you get to spend as much time with your kids as you want, since your W is checked out; on the other hand, I know that that situation is not in the kids' best interest. They do need to know that their mom still loves them and chooses them over anything else.

My H chose to have his GF overnight and gave up a day with our D14; he is also missing the teacher conference to go visit her. He tries to make it up to her by being the "fun dad" and doing lots of activities with her (which he NEVER did before). I guess I should be grateful, since it's good for D14, but it does pain my heart in some ways.
