Just a little update. I'm not sure how DB of this was of me and although I try desperately to keep my expectations of x Mr. GB to near zero, I have found myself a tad resentful lately that he decided being a parent is a bit too much of a responsibility and obligation for him. That's my problem to work through and I understand it.
Let me back up a minute. Xh and I live in the same small suburb. His gf lives in the college town I lived in (years ago, thankfully:-) about 45 minutes away. He is moving to college town (which is very odd for a 41 yr old divorced man and again, that's his deal.) He told kids he was moving there to be closer to work which is in the town we live in so he's actually moving 45 minutes from work.
Anyway, he was supposed to get them today and D9 chose not to go with the boys. I asked him to keep boys through tomorrow afternoon (he generally starts texting at 7am that they are ready to come home). I said "xh, please keep boys for a bit tomorrow as D9 needs some extra attention from me. It's fine if R is around. I've known about that since the beginning and I know you will use best judgement around the kids. It's all good. Thanks:)"
I've never mentioned her before and I realized that it's time to start thinking about GB and the kids. I've been thinking about kids and skipping over me. Nope. I want a life too. I have one and I'm grateful to have my kids full time. They are first. However, to be my best, I would prefer him to step up to the plate. Maybe he does. Maybe he doesn't. My job isn't to make him feel " okay." I was fired from being the wife and that's okay. I can't make him do squat, although I'm going to give him the opp to actually be a dad. My expectations are near zero, and again, I have to think about me. Yes- ME:-)
Happy Saturday:-)
