My YSS55 and I have an arms-length relationship, civil and polite but that's about it.  He lives out of town and has been separated from his wife for several years altho they arent divorced.  He's an excellent father to 3 daughters and the youngest, 14yo, lives with him.  The 2 older ones live elsewhere and are launched.

I posted last week because SD61's daughter, M, had texted asking if everything was ok with DH85 since SD61 told her he had only 6 months to live. I replied that the oncologist says he will live to 100 and die of something other than prostate cancer.

I typed a reply to Marianne's post about her SD's letter where, among other things, she expressed her wish that DH had asked permisdion to marry Marianne.  It got me thinking.  Why do these SKs believe their dad's were innocent victims of us?

Don't they understand their dad's initiated and wanted this relationship?  I just dont get it.

You all know my story with SD60 who has stolen, lied, manipulated and made trouble for years.  Nowadays, I grayrock her so we have a civil and polite relationship.

She came over today to bring something and stayed for awhile so I naturally hid my purse.   To me, it was obvious she wanted to angle for $ from DH, after all, it's toward the end of the month and she doesn't get her disability $ til the first.  Now that he and I have separated finances, that's his problem.
