Kat, yes, of course you are correct. B/c W has dated so much, and this is the one guy who she has stuck with for over 6 months now, I know they have some sort of special connection. But it still hurts when our children have to be around om. My mind is still in the place where I think it is some sort of competition, which it is not.

W just called - she is having a difficult time with s13 and she wants me to take him for a week. He is being disrespectful. disobedient, and otherwise a normal teenage kid. With me working from home, I am happy to have him around, so I agreed.

Ok, I asked W "why do you think s13 is acting out now?"

W did not answer my question and instead gave me a laundry list of "bad" things he had done. She wants me to straighten him out. Let's see if I can find things to do to get us out of the apartment, without spending an arm or a leg.

Oh, and I scheduled my 2nd spine surgery for July 1st. I'm not looking forward to this.
