I was just talking to my brother(intermediary) and asking him to contact ws about getting children in July. While I was talking to him...DS11 interupted me and said that his father said, "Your mother is being so imature by not speaking with me. I'm no longer going to speak to Uncle XXX or answer his texts....this is so rediculous."

So now I'm imature....he just doesn't get the pain he has caused me.

Then I guess he gets NO messages through to you. He doesn't get to CHOOSE how or who. If he tries to circumvent your brother, I would tell your kids [or whomever relays his messages] that if he wants to get something relayed to you, he must go through Uncle J or it doesn't get through!

Yeah, it's so immature to feel hurt when someone abuses you, right?

You are doing great, Hope!

Today has not been too bad....lots of work to do and it kept my mind off things. DD, mom and myself are going shopping tonight....maybe I'll by myself some flowers to celebrate this day.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone; I so look forward to coming here on this site to vent with people who totally understand my situation.

Summer schools starts tomorrow and my H's school will be in attendance at my school with some teachers from there. I've already met one and it just gave me another opportunity to share the love. When I introduced myself, you should have seen her face. I would love to know about the lies that he has spread to everyone.

You are being so incredibly strong, staying dark and getting through it. It doesn't matter what lies have been told - you know you are NOT being immature by Plan B'ing, but actually more mature than they could ever know. You are protecting yourself, your children, and even WH by not allowing him to hurt you and destroy your love anymore. You're doing awesome!

My brother just heard back from crappy WS. He cannot safely keep 4 children in a 180 square foot camper for more than a few days every other weekend....he's been forced to live here and these are the situations.

I'm so sick of all this and I've only been in plan B for a few weeks. Melody said he probably can't be away from OW for more than that amount of time. I just know that in the past, he would take all 4 kids to lake for a week at least...not he can't be with them more than 3 days...a weekend basically. This hurts worse than my own rejection. I hate that he doesn't even want to be around his own children. He is ruining their lives!!!!

He wants to be single, no children, and have a shiny new woman. I hope he gets everything coming to him. They will remember that this woman was more important to him than they will ever be. I might as well have full custody of them. I'd rather they just not see him. I just want to go to sleep and not wake up.

You are keeping notes on this, right, his not wanting them, etc etc?

Yes, I'm writing down everything....even the fact that he doesn't call them or try to speak with them. Now, he doesn't even want the time given to him...it's disgusting. I can't believe this is the man that I married.

He lied to me about so much just to get me as his wife and then once he had me, he could turn into this monster. I can't believe I was so stupid.

Hope, this is a great opportunity to interfere with his affair. grin

It can't interfere if he won't take them. I can't make him take his children. IM is going to repeat same phrase, but there are no guarantees of his being with his own children.

He's probably doing this as a form of retaliation, but in all reality I want them to be with me. I just hate it for them and I worry about their feelings all the time. I'm sure DS7 doesn't know what to think....he gets so excited to hear when daddy is coming. I hurt for him and wonder what's going on in his little mind.

I have training today right down from OW's house. It makes me sick to even drive down that road....bad memories. I'll be glad when work is done....just 3 more days.

Oh and one more thing: If WH doesn't want the kids, I would not try to force it on him. While I know that might interfere with the A, it will make the kids a pawn.

Above anything else, you want your children to know that YOU want them, YOU love them, and YOU will ALWAYS be there for them.

Sorry, I just had to interject here.

Hope, you were NOT (and are NOT) stupid so don't you dare ever think that you were/are. You are a beautiful, brave, kind, good-as-gold woman that anyone would be fortunate to have in their lives (and just because your WH can't see it, it doesn't mean it isn't so).

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER blame yourself for your WH wrong-doings.

Wow, everyone should be so blessed to have someone like you to come home to and, one of these days, your WH is going to see that he did and he lost it all on account of his "OWN" stupidity.

Hear that, Hope? His "OWN" stupidity!!!

You may have both made mistakes in your marriage but his "mistake" is the one that led you to where you are today. Don't you be taking ANY blame for that.

Thanx to MB my M is now back on track and better than ever. MB ROCKS!!!

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.

She shouldn't "force" but she should "advise" that it is his weekend. If he doesn't show up, document it. It will make a difference later. And, WHY shouldn't HopeE get a break for a weekend as well?

As HopeE notes, he wants the happy single life. To have that, he has to deny that his children exist? I don't think so.

HE MADE THEM PAWNS. By his actions. He moved out. He needs to pay his S/S and C/S and take his time with them. And if not, then agree to abandon them, and just pay what he is supposed to.

This isn't the guy you married, Just the guy he turned into. You don't want this guy back. It is going to be tough on your children. But you will be the oasis for the children. WH will be the BP Oil Plume.
