So I am divorced.

Met the WAW at my first parent teacher conference for my D4.

Overall the conference went fine.

I pulled in right behind STBX. The first thing she says to me is "Hi. Did you sell the Jeep?" I said no it's in the shop. We go inside and wait for our turn. My STBX went to this preschool as well, and had the same teacher. While waiting, she tells me a story about how her mom asked her if she's worried about the conference. She said no because D4 is like her and they love her there. This theme repeated itself a few times. I realize that she had put herself up on a pedestal at least for the moment. All of D4's behaviors were linked to my STBX, this was slightly annoying to me, it felt a little more about talking about her rather than talking about our D4. Perhaps it was reliving "Glory Days." I'm not sure. It just seemed odd to me.

I really wanted to ask the teacher "Since W moved out, November, have you seen any kind of difference in D4's schooling?" But I didn't. I couldn't muster it, and they only had good things to say about her so I let it slide.

I looked good, felt good, smelled good (wink wink), was cordial, kept things short, as well as light, and left immediately after we walked out the door. She actually walked to the loaner and I had to redirect her.

More importantly, my D4 is doing wonderfully. I am so very proud of her and her brother! They really are the best of me.
