Hi Chewie!

He had 2 EA's and I've just recently learned of his PA by his new girlfriend's fiancee.


Ouch. I remember the call I got...day after Christmas 2015. Ugh.

He started to become manic around September.


That may be the time the affair got into full-swing.

I'm close with several members of his family, so talking with them usually ends in a tear fest. My kids are from one end of the spectrum to the other. 1 is angry with his father, 1 is happy because she thinks she's getting her dad all to herself and 1 either doesn't understand or doesn't care. I'm worried about them when the time actually comes. They know about the talk of D, but nothing has been filed and we're all in the same house. Their lives haven't been really impacted yet.


I'd be very, very careful about talking with his family. After all, blood is thicker than water, you know. The kids will need you to be your best.

I'm doing well with detaching. Most days. I've started GAL and feeling better about myself. Completely scared about my future, but ready to get on with it. However, I'm not blind to the fact that this could be because he's still here that I'm feeling ok with moving on. I can't imagine you spend 26 years with someone and on moving day not become a blubbering mess.


We are all scared about the future. Nothing we can do but face it, because cowering does no one any good, especially the kids. 10 years was tough for me. Sigh.

You are doing great. Keep it up!


There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
