Yesterday was our anniversary.. and other musings

DH and I have been married for 8 years as of yesterday.(We have been together for 12+ years.) DH was on a work trip which is typical for any day worth celebrating in the past 8 years that he has been traveling for work, but I can't complain. It was his VERY LAST WORK TRIP!!! No more traveling for him!! We've not had a "normal" marriage, where we sleep in the same bed every night, ever. NEVER. I am SOOOO happy. Best gift ever!

BM usually gets a little cray cray on social media around our anniversary, but this year she has been very quiet. Almost silent. She has still been texting SS almost daily, I think his one word answers or no answers at all are starting to get to her. She told him yesterday she wants to go to a baseball of his soon. He responded "probably not". She dropped the subject.

I was thinking about it after I read that. The extent of her spending time with SS this year is less than impressive. And if she was TRULY clean, like she tries to pretend she is, she would be contacting me, or DH trying to get us to force him to see her. She would be doing SOMETHING to see him, and not just sit back and have NO time with him at all. Since the start of 2017 she has seen him:
Her Birthday in March- about 1 hour
Mothers Day in May- About 1 1/2 hours
His graduation (showed up uninvited)- about 2 minutes of time.
His Bday- about 1 1/2 hours

A total of 4 hours in 8 months, and she doesn't try to communicate with either of us about seeing him more. Yeah... there is no way she is clean.

Happy Anniversary!

By the time she does get clean, IF she ever does, she will have missed some of the best years of her son's life. And he will always remember that.

Happy anniversary!

Wow, what a gift. SO has taken two pay cuts since we've been together (8 years) in order to spend more time with myself and the kids. They were definitely worth it.

She is not clean. I don't suspect she ever will be unless she gets put in jail and even then it will only be while she is in jail.

Happy anniversary!

Your poor SS. He seems like such a good kid. Every time his BM is mentioned, I get upset. I can only imagine what you go through.

You are such a kind person. I hope your hubby does something extra special to thank you!
