Hey, Mamabear! It's good to have the little guys around, isn't it? It's amazing how strong they can be. My DD's are on opposite ends of the spectrum (I say that one got the hardcore part of me, and the other got the forgiving part). When H and I were "reconciling" last month (before I caught him in bed with OW), my oldest daughter didn't want to have anything to do with him. She said, "He's hurt your feelings before. What makes you think he won't hurt them again?" She wouldn't participate in our weekly family night; she'd just go upstairs. My youngest daughter tells her to chill out.
It was really hard to explain to them what makes people leave, then what makes them come back (once he decided he was coming back). They're so smart because their dad did the same thing to us when they were very small. The oldest one remembers more, so I think that's why she's more callous. When now-H started coming back around last month, I had to teach her about forgiveness.
And now this. The b*stard! I'm at a loss for what to say to them. I just told them H has a GF and that I don't accept unacceptable behavior. Poor babies.
Sorry for the hijack on the community V-Day thread.
