Atypical

Atypical. And I like being that way.

Tonight the boys went over to their mother's a bit early, and my ex's beau came over with the van and took a load of stuff for the boys (yes, there was too much to fit in my car!). I also took over my eldest's new computer that I had set up for him, and installed it. Then we all had supper and part of a movie together. I would not imagine there are too many people in our situation that manage that in the atmosphere that it was.

As time goes by it all becomes easier. Moving past the emotional section on to the payoff of the decision made to separate so that the four of us in our family could have a better, happier life. And in general (yes, there are still bad days!) that is the case for all of us, and another good thing, for at least some of the people who are now coming into our lives, again only because of that decision.
