Hi Gordie I'm catching up .. when do you move out? Have you set a date for it? I think you're handling this as well as anyone could hope, given the situation.
What prize should I get? A lovely wooden stand for my crystal ball?
I wish I wasn't right about things, but I'm very glad it helped you cope a little easier. Good grief.
Yeah, I didn't like the questions about "how long" - made me wonder just what she was going to say to OM2 ... would she string both of you along while she continued to "make up her mind" aka cake eat? Best to leave her to it and focus on you, the children and your move.
I think the best thing is to say nothing. Most people won't ask and your response is perfect for those who would.
Nope I wouldn't talk some sense into her - no one can. She needs this to come from within and she's not there yet.
Well done on staying out of it btw D1 and stbx. I know that was really hard to do.
One last thing: when the children aren't with you is a tricky time in my experience. You'll have to find what works best for you. As you know, for me it's volunteering on that first day which has made the difference. You will figure it all out. xoxoxo
