My Story

[Sunflyer]

W asked for another talk today. This time, asking if I had thought about how we are going to tell our boys. I replied that I hadn't thought about it yet.

The wording of this is going to be important. I really do not want her to control the narrative and say something like "We have decided..." or "Your father and I have decided..." when I decided no such thing. I do not want to demonize her to our sons, but at the same time I don't want them to believe that I think that this is "for the best."

And she said that very thing again: "I really do believe this is the best for everyone."

She looked at me and said, "You want to say something. I can tell."

I said, "I've said everything I have to say about this. No point in saying it again."

Then I got up and left the room. I wasn't going to let her draw me in.
