AndrewP - thank you for the bear hug, its gratefully received.
DnJ - I am really surprised it managed to stay quiet for so long. He asked the boys not to tell me and that he would tell me in his own time and then as time went by the boys didn't want to say anything as they knew I would be upset by the news. It really does show how they compartmentalize their life, several different worlds going on, it must be exhausting keeping them all separate.
job - Thank you for your praise, it means a lot coming from you. This has been a recurring theme with him, he jumps in to things, justifying it to himself and to those around him, and when it turns to custard he licks his wounds for a while before starting the process all over again. This latest one is the worst yet, I am still dumbfounded at what he has done, I can only imagine what is next ...... stuttering " i have made a mistake" at the alter ...... should not joke about it, it really could happen !!
kml - thank you for dropping by. I will have to look up the programme, it sounds funny. My dad could be a character on it, he moved to Thailand and became a sugar daddy to 2 women, one he bought a farm for so she could grow and sell rice and the other he built her a house. He now lives in the Philippines in a condo that sits out over the sea, he bought a house in the city for his g/friend and is putting her kids through boarding school, all of these women are younger than me! He is 73 !!!!!
I think the saddest conversation this week has been from s21, he said that he now hopes that his dad never wakes up from this as he fears that the guilt and sadness from seeing the destruction and pain he has caused to himself and those close to him will send him in to a deep depression and he would kill himself. It really tugged on my heart to hear him thinking this. Up until now both boys have just rolled their eyes at their dads antics, but this latest seems to make them see him in a different light, s24 is over it and doesn't want much to do with his dad anymore and s21 is now really concerned that his dad is pushing himself towards a deep black hole. Its like a soap opera that has really bad plot lines and acting but you cant help but tune in for the next episode.
