my morning
i woke up this morning and started to get my oldest daughter ready for her preschool graduation.
i wrote a friend a quick email to let her know that my marriage had dissolved. when i finished venting to her i saw that i had an email in my inbox from the woman my husband has been seeing.
this is what she said:
i hesitate in sending this. But caity tells me that some clarity regarding justin and my contact over the past few weeks might be appreciated.

to which i replied:
why do you care to convey this to me?
you have shown so little respect for me, my family, my marriage and as a result , the copperworks by willfully destroying the foundation of it all.
spend as much time as you like with him.
you can have him.
i am getting a divorce.
i am selling the property.
i cannot be with someone who can lie to me and lie to himself everyday.
the same lie you told me by saying for months that it was over. you said your final goodbyes in feburary, and march and....
the quantity of time these days has no issue with me. he said he wanted to work it out with me. we hung out. he said he was coming over, then didnt... the next day he was distant, rude and illusive. same thing happened after you hung out on monday. his behavoir with me for the entire time you have been in a relationship with him has been distant, rude and illusive. i cannot be with that and he feels he cant be anywhere in this world because of the shame he feels from being such an asshole.
its over
thanks

then i went to the preschool graduation and sobbed like a baby.
fuck.
my neighborhood is once again ripe with activity and i am wishing for escape. i have been sewing and wishing we were living in our old house where my girls could get dirty outside for hours without any interruptions from SKETCHY neighbors.
UGGGhhh

Yeah, I don't think you all should be chatting away as if you were buddies. I mean, I know precious few ex's who are *truly* friends with each other. And in your case it's all too raw right now. I don't know what her motivation for emailing you is...absolution, I guess? Who the fuck knows but you don't need it. Delete all further communication from her, without opening or reading, is my advice (not that you asked for it, sorry).
I'm so sorry, huck. I hope your new path brings you peace sometime soon. But I know everything totally SUCKS right now. Lots of hugs.

her only motivation for sending you that is to try to make herself feel better. Fuck that. She doesn't deserve to feel better, and neither does he. I think your response was perfect. Hang in there, mama. I am so sorry you have to deal with this shit.
You don't need this drama & you deserve better. Good for you for telling this woman how it is. I agree she is just corresponding with you to make herself feel better. I appreciate how you were able to express that you see right through her. Nothing like honesty to settle things. I hope you can sell soon to someone who will be able to carry on with your original intent for the copperworks so you can get back out to the country with your girls. So sorry about all this.
Just think, you are so strong. Such a good mama. You are such a wise woman. You can do anything you set your mind to and crying at pre school graduation is OK in my book. ((big hug))
you know what, in your previous blog I did think that maybe he was just telling her goodbyes, but reading this it does seem like both of them are trying to play you. Like he's realizing he's gonna lose the copperworks and his livelihood; you're really going to no longer support him, so he ran to her asking her to try to do damage control. She doesn't want breaking up a family on her head nor to take on supporting him so agreed to emailing you. Really, after committing to coming back to you no further contact to her should have been done, goodbyes included. The 'sporadic emails' really got me, WTF is he still keeping in contact with her for? Why would he have to email her.
He really needs to stand tall and be a man about this. If he wants the copperworks, he's going to have to find a way to keep it/get it back on his own. Good for you huck, for standing tall and being that woman in control of her life.
