making it about me...

I completely understand your heart melting and a weight being lifted. Having someone understand what you are going through, someone believe what you are going through, is so helpful. There are lots of us here, and we get it.

I am glad my words were received well. It is good that you can see your own back and forth feelings towards W. They will come in waves, lessening in frequency and amplitude as time goes on.

Boy, I could have wrote the same thing about home and family life. I am a bit of a homebody too.

My kids do not go over to OM’s house and I have full custody. So I have never experienced the swapping of kids or seeing thier second home. The way you illustrated it, so surreal. That is a lot to accept and get used to. However, think about what it meant to your son and daughter to be able to show their Dad their rooms. I am sure they were happy to share that part of their life with you.

You might even feel a bit better knowing what their rooms look like. Furnished well, toys, computer, and some familiar idems for them.

Good on you going to the Bday party. Those questions about your situation, yes I got those too. As if this can be summed up and explained in a couple of easy sentences. What you replied was fine. People, who have not experienced this, cannot and will not understand.

Hang in there sjohns6. This is a good place to vent.



I have a question.

So, this weekend started with the kids leaving for her house. That and the expectation that she has a family reunion next weekend in which she will be taking them...which is a double blow for me. This will be the first family reunion that I will not be going to, and I'm pretty close with her family. That AND that means that I'll actualy be without the kids for a week and a half instead of just a week.

The family reunion next weekend is happening - so the expectation is that she will be going and taking them? Is that all planned out or are you thinking that is what is going to happen?
