Except we didn't have a baby. I'm impressed with how you both handled it. it sounds like your first marriage and my first marriage might have been a lot alike. Except we didn’t have a baby.

Divorce sucks. And its effects last a lifetime. The divorce from my 1st husband left me feeling like I had been crushed under his boot. We also had a child together. I wish I could say my son was left with a divorce aftermath closer to yours than what was his reality. I wish. I never like to talk about my ex bcuz even to this day I struggle with any interaction I have with him. And my son is an adult now. Scary. Maybe someday I can stop avoiding the topic and write about it. Maybe. You are so right. Divorce sucks. And its effects last a lifetime.

I do have to say that your observations that Gideon's wife isn't really friendly with you bothered me. I hope she understands how astute children are, and that your son will surely pick up on how she treats you/reacts to you. It will only be to her detriment. After all these years as a stepmom, one think would thing that she would have dealt with her "issues" enough to be on the friendly side of civil. Especially as you say she is a good stepmom to James, she is kidding herself if she thinks he doesn't notice and that it doesn't affect how he thinks and feels about her.
