I've mentioned it before Anna the fact that our kids feel safe with us, the LBSs. We are solid and strong for them and we have not left. My Ks are the same way, they will let their emotions show completely with me because they know that I am not going anywhere. On my Cs advice, I suggest to them that they tell their mom the same thing, but they truly don't feel safe doing so.
What really galls me is last June W told me, "I'm tired of lying (about seeing him), I'm just not that type of person." Well, BS. She lied to me last night so she could be with him. One of the only things I've ever mentioned about Om is the fact that I will not be her baby sitter while she sees him.
Like I said earlier, I share in your GRRR!
And to you SAHDaddy, my W's Om is a 2 time divorced poor loser who takes advantage of depressed woman to start affairs and breaks up marriages. But then I guess they all are!
