No, I didnt tell them, they are kind of young. But, on of the issues I have is that my oldest daughter met the OW back in April when there was nothing going on. She really liked her, and the OW really liked my D. My daughter is into Japanese things, and so was the OW, so they hit it off. In fact, my D would joke that Daddy could have her as a girlfriens
d, and during the affair, my H said that he said that she was, but said it in a joking way that I would never pick up on the fact that it was the truth. He said it made him feel better about it all.
Anyway, about three days after the discovery, my D mentioned the OW and how wonderful she was. I just told her that Daddy and I had a fight about her, and that she should not mention her ever again. I think she knows something is up, but my H and I have tried very hard to continue to be the affectionate people we were before. Also, along with Christmas thrown into the mix, two of my daughters have had birthdays in the past two weeks. One of the original reasons I stayed

Sounds like a difficult situation. I'd let your husband know he needs to lead the way in difusing any further talk about the OW to your D. And if your D brings it up HE needs to squelch it. Otherwise you are portayed as the "bad guy/girl". Not easy, but he should be the leader of the recovery effort and a new environment set in your home.

yeah, i told him that too. She has not mentioned anything more, and my H and I are trying to remember that she was into all the Japeanese anime and "stuff" long before the OW entered the picture.

Talk of the OW from your D may fade away due to the move anyway. You've got a good head on your shoulders.

Thanks! Forgot to mention on the other thread that I am sorry for not asking you more about your situation. I feel like you've listened to my situation, and I have not helped you at all. Sorry to be so inconsiderate!

Not a problem. We're both rookies at this blog thing. I kinda feel like there are other eyeballs everywhere reading our stuff. Not sure what to share sometimes. You've been a big help. I do get dizzy flipping back and forth betw the 2 posts tho. Is there a way we can stay in one, or start a new one? I feel dumb.

No problem, which one do you want to stay in? How about the other one?

The other one sounds good. BTW, who's taking care of your 2 year old while your typing? Is it nap time? ha.

See you at the Just Found Out area.
