I think they are secretive and its part of the thrill for them

all the hiding
the secret life..maybe like the way a teen would hide things from their parents


I also took my xh name off of everything related to me or our kids
especially all credit cards as he racked up severe debt


It is a wise choice
to prepare and take full care financially of ourselves
if they return,,we can adjust
if they don't t, we are ready

Breaking ties with D is good ,especially if he is not really available to her
I know my kids felt a sense of rejection every time XH did not put them first ,
which became more and more as time progressed

eventually the kids adjust and truly let him go-

sad but many a MLCer will alienate their kids too many times, and kids may not be willing to restore that R in the end-
