What do I do with the pictures - the memories that include her. Or her with the kids. Or us with the kids? I see them on my phone and my iPad. Do I put them in a folder to never look at? Kids may want to see the pictures with their mom one day. I could give a shit less about the pictures with her. Damn iPhone photo memories.
Appreciate the responses to my previous post. It takes two to rebuild. And when WS decided to continue not cut all ties with AP (who’s married and supposedly in a complicated situation) it’s impossible.
There’s more there that I won’t share due to her also using Reddit. But I have enough to know more than what’s being shared with me.
I’m not begging to be chosen or waiting to be a backup option.
My path forward and intent was shared. It was difficult but easier than I imagined it would be. There are and will be resistances, but keeping my calm.
Kids first. Surrounding myself with good people and resources on this journey.
D-day less than 3 weeks ago. Trust broken. Does not want to cut AP from life. Decisions made. 18+ yrs and kids. Consulted with attorney and have a plan to buy out equity to minimize disruption.
How do I do this? Kids are going to be hurt. What does it look like or how does this work once I share my plan?
Scared. Anxious. Nervous. Help me walk through what this may look like from the time I say go. Summer break is almost here. I work. She doesn’t. How do I not feel guilty for putting the children through this due to her decisions.
