Hi LHS! Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I have been away all week. I was just going through the threads and noticed this (what a nice surprise!!) Not much has changed for us. The divorce is still pending. the first court date is Aug. 28th. I'm very nervous about that since I don't what my H is contesting. I am looking forward to having the whole thing done with! Even though they will be getting married once it is over, I need to move on and I can't do that until the divorce is done.
My oldest D has graduated from hairdressing school and is doing great. She is still living w/ H and OW but can't wait to get out of there. Her goal is to work in a salon in Boston for a while and then aim for New York or California. She would love to work as a hair stylist/makeup artist in the television or movie venues. My son has decided that he has had enough of OW's outbursts towards him and doesn't want to be subjected to them any longer. Last week I had to to talk to my husband and tell him that if he wants to maintain his relationship w/ son then he has to take responsibility and make plans to do things alone w/ him. A year ago I probably would have cried through the whole conversation, but now I am so much stronger and able to say what I need to say without letting him get the upper hand or letting him turn the conversation around and place the blame somewhere it doesn't belong! Charlene is going back to college in the fall. She has had a rough few months, but is feeling better about everything. She is the peacemaker out of the three kids and is trying to keep her dad happy by going down there as much as she can. It is hard for me to see her trying to hard to please him when he doesn't deserve it!! So, all in all, we are doing pretty well. Minor setbacks now and then, but I guess there will be more hurdles to cross.
How is life going for you LHS? Is your W still living down the street? the last time you posted you mentioned a GF, how is that going?
Thanks so much for checking up on me!
wishing you the best...
BH
