Amoafwl, I'd never seen kid1 so distraught over anything before.
I went to the school this morning with the kids... and W turned up. I said to W that the phone is available for kid1 to use but they don't bother with it much. Kid2 then said they wanted a phone too. W said she (W) would have to speak to Daddy (me) about it... that is prob W talk for "No, you are too young" and for W to part-blame me.
I'm keeping busy - looking after kids on your own ensures that. I'm feeling good a lot more of the time.
A couple of mutual friends had been taking the side of W, do a lot with her each week, and were being bad towards me. Today they started talking to me again. Interestingly, W has a 'secret friend' and she was very closely watching us talking. It is weird that the 3 closest women friends of W have kids in the same small school but 2 of them don't know the other 1 is also a very close friend of W and stands only feet away most days. W and secret friend act like they don't know one another. It's very odd. My gut feeling is that secret friend knew in advance that W would be leaving but the other 2 certainly didn't.
