I'll miss you guys. :)
I lurked for a while before getting a log-in, and since my Ex-FI and I are seperating, so does my obligation to his SD.
I'll miss K. I think that's the hardest part about leaving the situation. The kid could be a normal 8 year old- but she gave me a lot of love. (And a few headaches.) The ex-fi asked if I wanted to write her a letter saying goodbye. I had always just sent them to her mom, (birthday notes, etc,) and her mom passed it on. His ex-wife, (so he states,) knows nothing of what's going on- but when I recently called to ask if I could send a letter over she hung up on me. Then he called and said she didn't want any contact with me. I think he knew he was found out.
He cheated on me on my birthday, (not with the ex- with another girl entirely.) (amazing, eh?) The same birthday he forgot to tell his SD was MY birthday, so we didn't celebrate at all. Things have been awful for a while.
So... I'll miss you- and I wish you all the best. But I cannot believe I don't have to deal with this anymore.. it's somewhat... exciting?
I found my own townhouse and I move on friday.
So much for happily ever after.
-K.
I know you feel
that it is time to leave this site, for what you are going thru......but we all are more than just a bunch of" steps ", we are all friends as well, or so I like to think.
Please don't go completely, keep us posted on how your doing. Wish you the best."~waiting on the world to change~"

So glad
you found out in time. HAVE A WONDERFUL LIFE. Be careful getting involved with men with minor children!!!!! Focus on you!
Well at least you got out
Well at least you got out before you married him! Stay away from men with children! haha
No, it IS "Happily Ever After"
Just not in the way you originally thought. You came to this board originally seeking advice for some pretty tough issues.
Now you don't need to deal with them anymore. Think of THAT as your "Happily Ever After" and a chance to start fresh...
...and free!
...and happy!
You will be fine. Best of luck to you.

Best of luck, but no reason to leave here
Everything you've gone through, and the way you handled it all is VERY relevant experience for many who lurk and/or log-in here. So sorry for the disappointments this brings but I hope you're looking forward to the possibilities that are now awaiting you!
Sad but happy?
It sucks for things to end, without knowing what would have happened. But it is great to be FREE, and away from all this affecting your real, terrific life you will have!! Don't go, stick around and just hang out with us!

-Thanks. It's hard knowing I can't give that kiddo hugs anymore- but I'm focusing on my own daughter more now.
What a situation.
