Hi Sotto and Huddy , we all had a good Xmas. Still up at 6.30am and my youngest is 13 !!!lots of pressies and laughs. I got them all onesies so S22 was superman, S19 batman, D16 was a giraffe and D13 a penguin. GF came over for Xmas dinner and all was right in the world.
Sotto, you are being to hard on yourself re your mum. Things happen and we cannot control everything.
Huddy , we cannot understand the WAS thinking so i dont try. My exw was a caring mum but do we ever know anyone but ourselves? The choices people make are theirs, we can have our opinions on them but we need to let them live their lives as they decide. When their choices effect us we must deal with it but move forward. I like to think thats what i have done. It certainly wasn't easy but I'm at a place where i dont get affected by exw no matter if the news is good or bad and i keep my life away from exw.
I have been to solicitor and i have another 12 months to wait for D. Good news is I'm in a good place legally re all the finances.
