Yesterday turned out to be a fine day. We went to church together, went to a really lovely brunch for S19's birthday, and then my team had a basketball game (a win!).
D16 is still angry with H, that was expected. D12 is still daddy's girl. I am a little worried about S19, since he's off at school with no daily family support, but I talked to him for a while yesterday as he was driving back to school, and encouraged him to use his school's counseling department. He seemed pretty open to that.
I hope I handle it as well as you when/if we get to that point. Seems like you're doing very well considering!
lost18, telling my kids was my huge mental hurdle since the beginning, and I think that's the source of my detachment. I just can't feel much of anything for a person who would willingly hurt my children for their own selfish purposes. I just can't.
Last night I started thinking of H as Mr. Weed (a fictional elderly neighbor). So....Mr. Weed and the duck. I think I should write a children's book.
And, just for everyone who follows along, it's a Muscovy duck, nothing so attractive as a mallard. We don't have mallards down here.

I never hated my H more than in the moment when we told our D7 and she WAILED. I could not believe that he was capable of causing her that kind of pain.
I'm glad that breaking the news didn't ruin your weekend. You're doing a great job supporting your children. I hope your PMA and detachment continue.
RPP, I often picture sitting at your table with you and a few of the other people here discussing this in person. You have a very human and down to earth quality that is very comforting. I am glad to know you, if only in text.
