Persistant Endurance (Part 7)

[curtis7]

WW has the kids for Halloween and just texted me asking if I want to join them for trick or treating. Could be a courtesy invite or prompted by S8. He asked me yesterday morning if I was going trick or treating with them. I told him no, they are with their mom.

Very dim with her right now. I’ve let her go. Proper DB response?
“Ok, I’m sure the kids would like me to be there.”
“Not this time. Thanks for the invite.”
“No W, that’s something a family would do together, you don’t want to be a family.”
‘No response’

I know, detach from the outcome, go if I want, don’t go if I don’t want to. The dilemma is my kids want me there and I enjoy watching them have fun, but frankly I don’t feel like being around the lying cheater, she’s not good for me. Do what’s best for the kids or best for me? If we were D, I wouldn’t be participating in family activities.

On another note D5 told me the following yesterday: “It’s not cool having two houses, mom said it would be cool, but it’s not cool anymore. I don’t like having my stuff at two different places.” Gosh that kind of stuff from my kids is tough to hear. They didn’t ask for this and had no choice in the matter. It kills me that their childhoods aren’t what they could be because their mother wants to sleep with OM.
