I’m really happy for her and I’m happy for her mom and step dad as well. There was a time when I wouldn’t have wished them well but regardless of the situation our daughter always knew she had a mom and dad who loved her very much. No games were played for her affection and I have shown nothing but respect for relationships that are her own. It hurt but I tried to be a bigger person. I think I’ve done well.
Miss T is funny. “I know mommy is the mom and my step dad is the dad and I’m the sister, but what does that make you?”
“Your father of course, we’ll work on the rest”
I may have rethink sharing the old journal. There’s really nothing to be learned. You love your kids and help them through it or you selfishly act out your anger, get them involved and fuck the whole thing up. Maybe its not that simple but many times those were the options. I’ll share the touching moments and burn the rest.
