long awaited update...Posted by chris_34_dad in child contact residency |
 |
So...here I am. All settled in Las Vegas. First month under my belt, and as much as it has been a great move for me, my heart bears a heavy burden. The good: I love my new rental property. Its a wonderful home. I love my new job. I'm doing great so far and fully expect being the best at what I do there. My roommate moved in last weekend and paid me $500 US for Feb. rent. That's fantastic. My last job is paying me my monthly commissions, as agreed upon, so another $2500 US will be coming in this month. My 3 year old boy calls this "new house" or "Daddy & Hayes' house", which is wonderful. Since he can't really compute what is going on, he can recognize the difference between this house where he and I live, vs. the other house, where something was always missing. He has really adjusted well in his new preschool, which I was very worried about. That's fantastic! The bad: The x2b canceled her first 2 week visitation. She did so by txt message late last Friday,as we were scheduled to meet for the exchange very early Saturday morning. I hate to say that I'm actually glad she did, but I feel terrible for my son, who longs to see his mother. She's seen him a total of less than 12 days since mid-September. I don't know how she does it. Since I have moved, the "reality" of the separation must have hit the x2b pretty hard. She's been very nice and apologetic in her txt messages since the move. I honestly think she expected me to be her fall-back if things didn't work out at her new career and relationship. I, being still in love with my wife, (which frustrates me) have been very civil with her and conversed via txt message with pleasant conversation. Most of the recent conversations have been her discussing her dissatisfaction in life, and me being the strong one. Odd change of events. Nevertheless, I've kept my chin up an have been moving on with strength and confidence. No intention of finding a new partner, but hoping for chemistry and the chance meeting of a true mate. If it never happens, I'll be satisfied with the life I've provided for my son. Hope everyone else is doing well. I miss my UK and European friends. Sorry I haven't been on much lately. Chris

Chris, is wonderful to hear how well you are doing, as I can probably remember more than most where you were not that many months ago. I am so happy that you seem to have settled well in to life in Vegas and that your son seems to be happy with life too. I do feel for him, not seeing his mum; sadly, the longer it goes on the less he will miss her. I hope for her sake as much as that of your son that your x realises what wonderful moments in your son's life that she is missing out on and will never be able to get back. It is really great to see people moving on in their new lives. I guess for some of us it will take longer but believe me, I will get there eventually; wherever THERE is! Take care Chris of yourself and the little man and be happy with your life xx Love Sarah xx |
