I actually married the other girl from my earlier story. She and I had lost touch for about 20 years and she turned out to be a very sweet person. She never married and never had children. She believes that God had a plan for her to wait until I came back around. You are correct on our ages now. My son and my wife are getting along very well but my D17 has begun rebelling against her and I and wanted to stay with her mother for a while so I agreed to support her decision. Teenage girls are an animal all their own. My ex has been dating a guy for a couple of years now, he is definitely a polar opposite of me. He can’t keep a job, has wrecked several vehicles since they have been together and is living rent free in my ex’s mother’s rent house. So I don’t really understand what she sees in the guy but what can you do? I have recently been able to pay her off for the half of the equity in our marital home and now live there with my wife and son. We have taken up beekeeping of all things and are really enjoying our new chapter. I’m sure my D17 will come around before too long and we can all try to move forward together. My relationship with my IC was a little unique that she was also my brother’s IC. Well court ordered IC and she turned out to be a very good one. The point is that she had about 3 years with my brother and counseling him before I ever even talked to her so she had quite a head start on how my ( our) childhood was. I believe that helped me tremendously in that I didn’t have to spend countless hours trying to explain these things to her, especially in a time when I was not particularly interested in dredging up the past but looking for some kind of help with my marriage. It’s funny how things can turn out sometimes
