She said she would have to sell the house because there was no way she could afford it “by herself.” I did not respond to her comment.
Good. There are times for validation, but there are also times like this where no response is the best response.

Unfortunately, I don’t think she will hit rock bottom until I’m completely out of the picture.
That is almost always the case.

If you were to see us interact, you would not think a D was likely coming down the pike.
I remember once after D my XW and I took the kids to lunch. We were walking into the restaurant and held the door open for an elderly man. He walked out and said "you have such a beautiful family!" This is something I still think about, is XW part of my family? It sure seems like it. I went to her mom's for Thanksgiving this year. She texts my siblings fairly regularly. We have parties together for the kids. We coordinate gifts for the kids and don't put our names on them. We're not married, don't live together and certainly don't have sex. But our lives are still intertwined in so many ways.
