We have to be patient, MB. One day OW's facade will crack.
Took D to the toy store to buy her a new puzzle, Found one with 200 pieces, so that should keep her busy for a bit. As I'm paying the guy behind the counter says "Oh I bet she's daddy's girl" Ugh. I just said no, she's mommy's girl. "Work, huh" he said. Yeah, work. Right.
How is everyone doing. I'm busy packing and getting ready to move in a few days. My ex mil arrives tonight to help me move, since her son is out of the country till March (Grateful for that, btw)
I hope the move goes well for you, Gmum. What a relief that he's out of the country. Nothing you have to worry about doing or not doing for now, just focus on the move.
MB, remember that the fact that she's 5 hours away makes her more attractive. They don't have to deal with whose turn it is to take out the trash. Just keep on with your life. Be mysterious. I remember you saying how he asked you who the cars belonged to, and since it's an apartment complex you had no idea! He's thinking about you, I guarantee it. Focus on your own power: your history with him, your love for each other, the fact that it worked for as long as it did. And don't focus on the low life he's taken up with for now. It WON'T last. She's nothing. Just a momentary distraction. Try to be patient. I know how hard it is, but it's all we've got.

hmmm.....It's ok. Tiny bit of tension, but we talked about that already. She means well. I have no problem standing up to her, so that's not an issue. And she likes to pay for things haha. But man, it's so weird. I no longer introduce her as my mil, now she's my D's grandmother or H's mother. Just feels weird.
I'm sad.
Inpain, I was so annoyed that he would even bring up her dad. For all he knew, her dad wasn't even a part of her life etc. But admittedly I'm a little sensitive these days.
Moving is hard, I know. Once you're settled you'll feel better. The sadness keeps coming back, but at least there's a before and an after. Good luck, Gmum.

It's so sad going over there and finding dead roaches. And like you, I don't know how I'm going to fit everything in there. But it'll be ok. It has to.
Shelves and hooks. That's how you make it fit. Roaches? That's depressing. I have major cobwebs on the ceiling but I haven't bothered to do anything about it.

That sounds difficult. Keep your head up. One step in front of the other.
