Hi guys...
I hate to be a complainer, but I have had ONE tough night, and I was so grateful to be able to jump on chat from my hotel room and get so much support! Thanks Patty and Pansy...
I am out of town, bringing my daughter who is 15 to be at her grandfather's 70th birthday surprise. My ex-husband orchestrated this thing, and of course he wanted to see her too, understandable. But he has been in and out of the picture...
Anyhoo...we met them at a restaurant this afternoon... thought all was fine until we got a call from her tonight while out to dinner and she was crying. He tried to tell her every detail of our marriage, why we divorced, bad stuff about me (and of course not taking ANY responsibility for not being there for her for the past 12 years?) Sorry...
I am so proud of her... she told him she only had ONE night to be with him, her grandfather and all of her other relatives she has not seen in so many years, and could he please let her have a good time.... well... he yelled at her, ran out of the house and slammed the door. Thus the phone call to us!
Dont worry... she is fine now and in good hands. She is staying with her uncle whom she adores, and they have called us a lot and we have talked to her. They are awesome. (Uncle on MY side of the family!)
This has been one of the most stressful days I have been through in a while, and my husband was out of town all last week, has to fly out again first thing Monday for another week.
I know none of this has ANYTHING to do with anything, other than the fact that I started drinking when we divorced, 12 years ago. So I had to see him as well... that was tough too.. .another story. But just would welcome some cyberhugs!! You guys are awesome! Glad I could come here instead of getting plastered like I felt like!!!
All the best..
