The weekend is FINALLY over.

My children (and myself) made it through their first weekend with their dad and the OW. My daughter (6 yrs old) called me 5 times from Friday evening until they actually came home tonight at 5. She told me she didnt want to go back to dads house because SHE was there and SHE wouldnt quit kissing her on her cheek. I told her next time to tell HER to stop and if SHE doesn't, then just tell dad to make HER stop. Apparently everything went okay besides an inccident with my 3 yr old telling HER that she hated HER and that SHE is a loser.... I told my 3 yr old that it isnt nice to say those things and that she needs to be nice to her dad's friend. My 8 yr old son just said that SHE cooked well...LOL...boys and their food!

My STBX took HER and our children to see his mom and his sister today....I still can't understand why this is all happening so fast....but it isnt my mistake to make.... he tells me that he is doing things this way because he is moving HER and HER three kids here in January and wants HER to be comfortable. SHE is here until Tuesday and then the two of them will drive back to South Carolina. He will stay with HER and HER children until next Monday and then fly home....he says that he is spending all this time with HER and HER kids to make sure that everyone is compatible before SHE moves here.

This is just a rough situation to be in, only being separated for 2 months and him not actually living with us for only 2 weeks...he told me tonight that he is over everything and has closure..... what a fool.

Oh I am so sorry, but so glad this difficult weekend is over. When I hear stories like yours I wonder about sanity -- his, in this case. What you describe is surreal and almost impossible to fathom and for the kids absolutely incomprehensible. I am so so sorry.

I am at a different phase in the miserable process so I can't share any btdt, but I just wanted to send hugs.
