I hope she'll see it that way. You never know how a 15-year old will read things. She knows more than she should about what's going on. We've tried to talk with her about it at an age-appropriate level. She reads things like me being angry at W and she's afraid I hate her, which is far from the truth. She reads posts where I talked about getting attention from attractive women and she's afraid I'm going to step out on W. Apparently she knows we're discussing S. Our house isn't that big and some of our R talks have been, well, a little too voluminous. She's understandably scared. Her best friend comes from a divorced family and I don't think it was very amicable, so my D15s model of a divorced family is a pretty tumultuous one.

I think she initially found out because she "borrowed" my phone in the middle of the night when hers started dropping off the network. That was a while back.

She was upset yesterday and told W about my posting, though she didn't show anything to her. W was not upset with me at all; she was very understanding. I had been up front with W that I was going somewhere to journal, vent and seek advice. I didn't give her the website name, obviously.

I'm not ashamed of anything I've posted here, but I would like to continue to have a private place to go without having to self-censor.

I suppose it was naïve to think that this sitch could go on for months and months without our kids learning too much.
