i have confirmed today that xMM has indeed applied his son to the small school where my children attend. i am fairly confident he will get in--as xMM's wife is the head of a prestigious middle school here in town--she is part of our city's educational circle.

so, great. i get to see xMM and his family walking up and down the halls of our small school now. think about it. in car line everyday; at open houses, at holiday performances; at all school related events. why why why has this happened?

i am never going to get away from him. maybe by the time school starts next year, i'll be able to handle it. i know i am projecting here like crazy. what else can i do.

i just want to scream or crawl in a hole or take a one way trip to anywhere but here.

no word from the parasite today. i don't even think i have crossed his mind, not even a bit.

I remember having this same thought when I was first divorced from my husband and we were still working out all the issues. I remember thinking that because we had a child together I would never be able to get away from him. The good news is that it didn't take very long for my x and I to become friends and have no feelings of animosity. I care about him because he's the father of my child and someone I once loved, but nothing deeper than that. Hopefully we'll all soon be able to say the same about our affair partners.

UGH, Clarice! I'm sorry to hear that no matter how hard you try you can't seem to shake this guy. No offense intended, but it sounds like you live in Small Town, USA. LOL. I live somewhere like that as well. Very affluent? even adults wear bike helmets? Landscaped front lawns? Tree lighting ceremony in front of town hall with the mayor? My town is so darned corny, and from your posts, I'm starting to get that image of where you and OMM live.

Don't project, though. You don't know what in the world will be going on next school year, let's just get through this baseball season, ok? Love and hugs, Mo.

Your description reminds me of the town in "One True Thing" with Meryl Streep. Her husband kept having affairs with his students....maybe there's something in the water in those small towns. LOL

your post made me LOL--the first time in days. yes, you are right. i gotta get thru this baseball season first. i am still laughing, btw.

i live in a big, very big city--but i live in a small--old--community, very close knit, in that big big city. it might as well be mayberry. go outside, though, and you are suddenly thrust into the big big world.
