...As for the moving. I get what you're saying. I feel it. But honestly, he (s13) is affected by his mom's choices as is the whole family. Some things you can protect him from and others you cannot. What you can control is being there for him regardless of what life throws at him. And he can always come live with the stable parent - you. All of that can happen without you moving in with her...

Thanks AJ, yes, s13 staying at his same school appears to be one of those things that is out of my control. I'm just not sure why W wants me to take over her place, and why she just doesn't go look for a cheaper place herself.
So last night 'The Bachelorette' is on, and W starts texting me. It looks like this is "our thing" to text each other during the show. It was fun, again I staid away from judgmental comments about Kaitlyn (who slept with one of the guys early on), all well and good.
Then W texted that one of the cute 28 year old guys "we should set him up with d19 and have an arranged marriage." Now, W has admitted to me that she has dated younger guys than this, and this was a nice sign of progress - W understanding men this age are for our daughters, and not her.
I think as my W's 50th birthday is approaching, she is feeling her age. It has nothing to do with our relationship or marriage, it's just nice to see her see guys in their 20's as off limits. But my mission this week is still clear - stay away from W.
