SO told me yesterday that he talked to BM2 (to whom he is still married...) about finally (FINALLY!) filing for divorce. Money is tight for him since he's a stubborn ass who refuses to ask for help, so he asked her to pay for it upfront and he would pay her back half in the fall.

Why do holidays always seem to be the catalyst for bad behavior? The last blow up with the two oldest boys happened on Memorial Day. Today it's them being outwardly hostile, without actually saying anything to me. And putting on their happy faces (as much as these two miserable shits can) when their dad is looking their way. SO said he thinks the sneering and the dirty looks is just their normal faces. How horrible for them, to have all of their inner ugliness seeping through to their outside.

I seriously can't stand their faces.

I know my SO thinks I'm crazy, but this is the shit that terrifies me. Given that his 16 year old is more than likely a sociopath, I can see him snapping one day.

So, I took a temporary job in Atlanta, which means that I will be living down there for four months, while my SO and his demon spawn will be home in PA. This is going to be a tough few months - my SO and I aren't codependent by any stretch of the word, but we tend to not do well when away from each other. Other than a 5-day stretch when he went on a work trip, we haven't spent the night apart in 2 years. So this is a little weird...
