wishing,
I'm so glad you returned to update us a bit. I hope you and your family had a nice Thanksgiving and it's now on to the big Christmas holiday festivities. I'm sure your D is going to be so cute in the Nutcracker this evening. Be sure to take plenty of photos! I wouldn't worry to much about what your xh has to say about the new man in your life, as you rightly pointed out....it's none of his business what you do any longer. But I bet his eyes will be glue to you and the new man this evening and he'll be posing questions to the kids about him. LOL!

I'm sorry to hear that the two nutty buddies are getting married. That is going to be something to stay away from. Toxic to the hilt. It's going to be interesting how long she's going to go back and forth visiting her kids. I'm glad her h had enough sense to work w/the courts and keep the children in his area. A marriage based on lies, etc., will begin to crumble in time because the "shine" will wear off once all of the festivities are over and done with. The Ball will be over the masks will be removed and I wouldn't want to be around to see that unmasking take place some time in the future.

Wishing, you struggled a lot w/your situation, but you've come a long way. You and your children have a lot to be proud of. You've made it on your own and have had many ups and downs...you're an inspiration to all that read your postings. I'm very happy to see that life has turned those lemons into lemonade for you. I wish you, your new man and your family a very happy holiday season.

Don't be a stranger...come back and post so that we know that all is well w/you and your family.


Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
