Poschan-just caught up on your sitch and since I have a same age D, I wanted to see how you were handling telling her. I have ready many different stories on telling their children and I have to do this myself shortly.

Being negative & bitter is not abnormal. I would add also hate and anger and resentment to the mix. You should be feeling this and its so normal as your life has been torn up and changed by someone you barely know now.

It seems the WAW/H is always cold and stone hearted when telling their children. I cry just thinking about it and have lost it in front of her before where she used to see me as the man and rock of of the family.

I just ordered Crazy Time Surviving Divorce book too as a good read was recommended by a friend going thru a terrible divorce too.

I agree on the meetup group too! I found a local mens' divorce meetup and although small 3-4 people, I plan on attending to compare notes. We may all have the same profile of the WAW!

Pls take care of yourself!
