I had a good talk with easy child last night

[KFld]

I've been so worried about protecting easy child from the truth of what her father did that has caused our split, and worried about her worrying about me, that I thought I was giving her the impression that my wanting a divorce after 27 years of marriage wasn't that difficult for me and I thought she was just thinking this is what I want, so it shouldn't bother me that he has a girlfriend.
I spoke to my counselor last night and then to Cay last night and I was wrong. I told her last night that yes, I do want this divorce, but that it is for valid reasons I would never even consider discussing with her, but that doesn't mean it's easy for me. She said, I know this is very difficult for you. She said she never thought for a minute that it isn't. I told her I just wanted to make sure she knew that because it wouldn't be normal for this to be easy for me.

I also made sure to tell her that even though it's difficult, I will be o.k. because I will continue to see Susan and she's really helping me through it.

She's such a great kid. I shouldn't even be calling her a kid. She's turning into such a well rounded mature young lady. I am so proud of her. :smile:

By the way, I was going to walk into counseling last night and say to Susan "I told you so", because I told her last week she would never see my s2bx again and she didn't believe me. When I walked in last night she said "well you called it". I laughed and said "I was going to come in and say I told you so, but I didn't think it would be very professional". She laughed.

She was very proud of how I handled the situation with him last week when he told her him and girlfriend were doing good. She said I did awesome. She also thought it was great that I filed because she agrees there is no reason to wait another minute.

I know this is a monumental relief for you, Karen. Whew! I would be so proud I would bust the buttons on my shirt. She's handling it so well...like a grown-up. Don't forget to tell her how proud you are. I think both of you are doing wonderfully!

Your daughter certainly is handling this well.

And what a role model she has.

Why, the only wayward thing I would worry that your daughter might do is go spend $65.00 on a garbage can holder.

:smile:

Actually I bet if I told her I wanted it, she would run out and buy it for me. :smile:

Your daughter sounds like a great kid. She will do well in life.
