Thank You EVERYONE.
Yes, PM. I did get your message.
Just got home from my parent's house where I was pampered with not having to make any meals. My DSx2 and DNx2 baked me a cake in the shape of a heart. They decorated it with star sprinkles. I had a GREAT day. I even slept in this morning. WOOOOHOOOOO.
My mom called me at 1043am and when I answered, she said, "WAHHHHHHHHHH, that's what YOU were doing 35 years ago." HEHEHEHE
Well, it wasn't an easy day, but it WAS much easier than I anticipated.
Thank you all again.

Thanx guys. Merry Christmas Eve Eve Everyone. Hope everyone is finished their shopping. I only need to wrap ALL of the presents.  I realized the other day that I know WAY too much that happens in affair-lalala-land through stories my kiddos tell me. See, I didn't really realize it since I don't ASK them. DSx2 came home from their visit with Bampot and DS10 says, "Mommy, can you believe it? They don't have a Christmas tree. They didn't celebrate Chanukah, and they had Christmas presents. There wasn't a tree there last year either. That's just WEIRD." That was when I realized that I knew too much. I think I need to explain to them that while I want to hear about their feelings, I don't want to hear about the other things. See, I always knew that Bampot knew too much about what I do because I overhear DS10 tell him EVERYTHING about his day to day life. I also knew that I knew TOO MUCH, I just didn't realize HOW MUCH. I was also thinking about something else. I have been thinking about the advice that you guys have been giving me(always trying to make myself better) and I remember that you guys told me that I should dress up whenever Bampot is coming to get the kiddos and that I should go out more often. This is so DSx2 will tell Bampot. Doesn't this go AGAINST Plan B? First, I shouldn't be doing ANYTHING with thought to Bampot. Second, NO EXPECTATIONS. I KNOW that I am supposed to move forward as if Bampot doesn't exist. I "get" that. I even realize how far I HAVE come in this last year. Personal recovery is VERY important. I AM moving in the right direction. Some thing are just weighing me down still. I will let go of the weights that are tied to me as I realize they are there. I will continue to move forward. I have all of you, MB and DrH to thank for ME.

Scotland,
I'm having a tough time finding an IM for when I go into PlanB.
May I ask whom you used?
I don't have any family around and neighbors don't want to get involved.
I'm stuck.

With your boys still so small, perhaps instead of asking them not to tell you certain things and then they wonder, is this one of the certain things?, maybe get them each a journal.
Whenever they start to tell you too much, direct them to their journal, to either write or draw pictures. That way they still get to document their experiences and have them validated, but hopefully without giving you quite so much detail.
