W took the kids out to a friends and I went and hung with S-27 at his community pool. He knows a little of whats going on. Its pretty hard to keep it a secret. He knows his mom is different and brought up stuff that I didn't think he had noticed. One being that his mom treats his two sisters differently. She clearly favors one over the other. It was hard to hear that someone else especially their brother noticed. Otherwise, the conversation was mainly light and I had a good time. I'm glad I went and got out of the house. My W is on her way home with my two daughters and I'm honestly dreading her arrival. I never know who is going to walk in the door. Three days ago we were doing ok (for us). Then Thursday night the alien invader came and obviously still here.
