A little background: A started Dec 2004, DDay May 2005, X moved out & filed for D Dec 2005, D final March 2007, X married OW May 2007, OC born around June 2007, OW and XSIL are best friends, XSIL was instigator in many disagreements during D, X was also susposed to get a large lawsuit settlement after D was final.
Ok, it seemed obvious that OW got pregnant because X was dragging feet on D (financial reasons) and to force him to marry her. (I owe her thanks for that one.)
However, now I hear that XSIL has adopted OC. Something about this just seems sick.
I don't really have any feelings toward X other than maybe pity, but I can't help feeling that something is very wrong.

Something's rotten in Denmark.
Maybe OW has a terminal illness?
I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

If we didn't actually live this stuff, we'd never believe it.
It's like a soap opera. Do you remember thinking: "People don't really live like that, do they?"
Now, we are the soap operas.

Why would OW who is now married to your XH - want "their love child" to be adopted by SIL or anyone for that matter????? Even if she is terminally ill - making someone a legal guardian in the event of losing both parents would make sense not a legal adoption. Could it really just be "legal guardian"???
People don't really live like that, do they?"
Yes, some of us live insanely different than most. You can't imagine how many times I've thought, This can't really be MY LIFE...certainly, God doesn't expect me to live like this forever, does he??? Certainly, this wasn't the plan for me..but I'm livin it.....
