WW left this morning. Of course kids were upset for awhile, than seemed better. D12 is handling it better than I thought. She is looking forward to junior high school next year. She left me a note telling me she loved me and thanked me for always being there for her. Took the kids golfing today. First time they have ever been. They had a blast.
I had a few bouts of anger today at WW for what she is doing to our family. Especially her kids. The thing I hate about these situations is family always makes it worse. We have reached the point where her family and mine know what is going on now. Of course they want to defend her and mine want to defend me. I told my mother to just let me handle it. I will make the decisions I feel are best for me and the kids. Of course my mom is upset because she knows about everything I have done for WW and her kids.
D12 has been texting her mom all day. I did receive a text tonight about where she is. I responded with "okay". I suppose I am now in that "Go Dark" position. I better read up on it some.
I think it would be so much worse for me if my kids were not with me. I will have a tough 4-5 weeks with out them come July. I kinda feel like maybe they are handling this okay because really the only thing that has changed is WW physical presence. Sure she hugged them before bed and did a few things with them, but the job came first. You REALLY could see the effect of that last night when D12 asked her mom to come hit golf balls with us. Her last night with kids for 5 weeks and she took about 10 minutes out of her busy schedule to watch and than back to work. I worry about what kids will do when they go visit her. Is it bad that I hope they are bored and want to come home early?
On a positive note, this is the first night that no one is taking phone sex calls in the room upstairs!!
