Today something happened and I just want to jot it down.

Last night the wife dropped off the kids. I was in a great PMA mode. I was reading codependency no more. And it was starting to hit home. Anyways she dropped them off and we said hello. I said thanks for bringing all there snow stuff. And ended it. She just stood there. I asked every thing ok and she said yes and left abrubtly. I started to play with the kids and my curiosity got the best of me. I sent a text asking if she was ok. She said no but hopefully she will be. Just ask the kids I'm sure THEY will tell you. I said they told me you fell and hurt your self are you ok. She said yes but I'm dealing with other issues. I said as long as your ok and have a good weekend. She said I hope I will be ok thanks you careing enough to ask means a lot.

Well I didn't ask the kids. As the night went on the kids started telling me about this terrible cabin that they stayed at with mom and OM. Nasty writing lover the walls and just a scary place. Then they said that OM blew up and they didn't get to stay the whole time and mom was crying. Apparently the youngest two were kind crying because it was cold and scary and they where not having fun anymore(old type of cabin with wood stove in the woods and run down). And he snapped at every one and said that they where leaving in a very mean way. The wife even told the kids something to the extent that at least she still had them. I didn't understand that part.

Thoughts raced through my head as I went to bed about this mans anger. If he ever touches my kids on what I would do. And what I could not do because I would be in jail then. I got my self calmed down and finally fell asleep.

Then came to day my sisters husband and son took us out ice fishing. We had a blast. Caught some fish and headed to the wife's brothers kids birthday party. This party I didn't get invited to but the kids did. When the wife dropped of the kids I asked about the presents for them. And she said I didn't buy any. I held back my anger and said no problem. I thought to my self it's still my nephews and I love them. I was just going to drop off the kids and presents at the party because it was a family party on her side. I get a phone call when we get done with fishing from her brother saying that if I wanted to stay I could because the wife is not coming. I told him we will see. I was really looking forward to it. All the family that I miss and so truly love. But when I got there I just couldn't stay. I watched the kids open the presents and left. It just felt so uncomfortable. Not just for me but it seemed like everyone there was uncomfortable with me being there. Her mom and dad could barely look at me. Let alone start a convo with me. Some of the other family where fine. I just miss the norm with them. I did keep a good PMA during the 15 minutes I was there but when I left I almost started to cry. Her family was such a big part of my life. Just really sad about that.

Get the kids back in an hour and back to having fun with them and some friends of mine tonight.
