8 - you did a wonderful job with your daughter and I hope to follow your lead. My D(13 in June) just asked me about my friend who happens to be the Ow - I am not sure if she is fishing or just concerned we no longer talk (Ow and &). I hope to spare her from these ugly details if possible, but need to be prepared that the truth will come out, especially if H thinks he'd rather continue with Ow - then does it come down to a choice of his own daughter or Ow?? I cannot imagine a 13yr old wanting to be with the person that helped destroy her family... I think of these things everyday.

I do NOTHING to tarnish their Dad's image in their eyes - at some point in their lives they will figure it all out. They will know how much I have tried and how high a road I have taken and I hope to only lead by example. D may be in my future and it may not be - I need to be prepared for both to be the best Mom for my two kids!!

You are a wonderful Dad and I thank you for your words of wisdom!
