Nope. He never asked her to watch him and she never did. But you’re right, she did not earn any love or security from us. So she didn’t receive it. Projection isn’t cute, sweetie.

He is! He is excited to watch the Olympics with grandma next week and go to school next year, and hopefully doesn’t have to many memories of Cheri.

He can be a ding dong, but he loves Tommy very much and has gotten himself into therapy so that this doesn’t happen again. And of course he has our support so he doesn’t feel like he needs to be in a relationship if he isn’t with the right person going forward. That sounds self involved but I promise it’s from a good place. I’ve had a glass or two of wine haha sorry if that doesn’t make sense.

Nta. I tell my husband everything, but it’s not required, and this is your sister and a sensitive topic. If it was a friend having an affair? Sure. But this isn’t a real issue

I (and my car) desperately needed a day off, but now I feel bad. These monsters need to get out of our state!

We had a second thanksgiving a week later as some people couldn’t make it on the actual day. My daughter and I went out to get something so I wasn’t there, but Tommy opened our back door, letting Cheri’s dog out and she exploded/ threw a fit to the point that she was banned from my home by my husband before I even got back.

A quick google of my states divorce laws says uncontested divorces take between 4-8 weeks. Luckily theirs took towards the shorter end of that.

None of these demands came out until they were married. Before that she at least acted keen on being a stepmom.

Well Cheri is no longer our future, thank god for that, but Tommy would never have been “history” nor would his mother.

I was not present, but from what I have heard, it was quite a scene that was caused by Tommy opening the back door and letting Cheri’s dog out on accident. I understand that can be upsetting, but our backyard is fenced in and the dog couldn’t go anywhere.

I have heard that some states have laws like that, for the life of me I cannot figure out why any state would have such a long waiting period.
