has just got engaged to OM#6 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
Not bad eh? 6 men in 10 months and now she's found someone to settle down with. Of course only 4 weeks ago she was telling me that with the divorce she had lost her Soul Mate and Best Friend. When I found out I seriously couldn't stop laughing at the insanity of it.
The sad thing is my Daughters are devastated, they don't know which way to turn <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" /> I have one of them off school today and the Doc has diagnosed stress & depression. That's what makes me annoyed. But as you well know taking responsibility for her actions is now me xW's forte!
As for me I am fine, dipped my toe in the dating pool, got my Custody order stating the children live with me and the caveat in there that the abusive grandparents can't be let alone with the children, and only have the financial settlement to finish which should be sometime in August.
Hope you are all well.
Best Wishes Neil.

Good to see you around, Neil. Well, bottom line is that your X is a seriously weird woman. Reason more to take a spade and bury that past somewhere deep and move on. I'm worried though about the effect it all has on your daughters. Help them in all you can - I'm sure that they KNOW where to turn to - to you.

Neil! Hey! Hey!
Have been wondering how you were doing!!! By the sounds of it you are moving on and getting emotionally healthier as time passes! Good for you!
Sorry to hear about your kids...I hate it when this kind of crap happens...it seems the the kids pay the highest price. Give them an extra hug from me! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
As for your exW...consider yourself lucky that she's moved on...she's got some pretty serious issues. At this point, you are better off without her.
You are doing a great job with your girls and yourself...keep going!

Wow Neil your story is so similar to mine that I KNOW where you are coming from. Both of us were married to women that had self destructive issues that originated from their pasts. It took a divorce and an emotional breakdown before my XW finally started her long road to personal recovery and now is a much more healthier person than when we were still married. Now she's become a real mother to our daughters and this has helped them heal the wounds she caused them years ago. I pray that your W also turns her life around, not just for her benefit but for your daughters as well. Until that happens, keep being the emotional anchor your girls need.
