hello-some of you here may remember me, but if not here is my story short and not so sweet....
my husband had an affair which resulted in a child only 4 months younger than our one and only son. i have been struggling with this situation for over a year now and on sunday i finally met my step-daughter. it was very hard and for about the first hour after we picked her up i could not even look at her. my husband was very nervous and really did not know what to do with himself. anyway the visit went okay for the first time and our son just took her under his wing like he has known her all of his life. her mother cried when she was leaving but when we met her to give the child back, she was on the phone and did not even speak to her daughter. my husband put her in the car and mom continued to talk on the phone, hopped in the drivers seat and flew out of the parking lot. she knew he was married(and so did he) and she said that she thought (eventhough i was pregnant with his first child) that if she had his baby he would choose her. anyway i think the phone call was just a way to avoid having to have any contact with us and to have to hear that the child did well with us. we may get her again on this sunday if my husbands work permits. i will keep you posted on how that goes. thanks to all of you have listened and given me such wonderful support.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I agree with you the "other woman" is doing her best to avoid contact with you but that's the best way to handle it for now isn't it?
