Well I just got a big non-verbal clue what W thinks about all this: W, S7, D5 and I are sitting around the dinner table, and while the kids are a little crazy, everything's open, warm, and fun. I make a comment to S7 about getting coal in his stocking (I honestly don't even remember why) and he fires back to me a comment my stocking being full of plastic chilis (I don't know why, aren't kids great? ). W suddenly goes cold, avoiding eye contact, body language goes closed and she sits silent until I can steer the conversation away from Christmas. So obviously she is not comfortable with the idea, either. Crap. So now I'm confronted with a dilemma.
We aren't speaking about the state of our M right now. W is starting a counselor on Monday, and she wants to see where that leads first. Understandable. I don't really want to talk about our M anyway, W is throwing out all sorts of accusations to justify her infidelity. But it seems like it is staring us in the face (that we need to do something about this), seeing as how the kids will strongly question why "Santa" didn't put anything in W and my stockings. Ugh.
Out with the old, in with the new
