I'm really sorry you're going thru this. I'm sure the divorce was hard enough without having the children angry at you too. I'm glad your son forgave you.

It seems that both of them are old enough to realize that when you're unhappy in a marriage, you don't just stay there for an eternity and be miserable! Of course, I don't know why you left, but I'm sure you weren't happy! Your daughter should realize that leaving was a hard decision for you, and at least you didn't leave when they were little -- you waited until they were grown!

If she's upset that you're dating, she CAN'T expect you to remain single forever -- or to become a nun! LOL She MUST realize that you get lonely.

I have to agree that perhaps meeting her on neutral ground might be a good idea, or on a shopping trip. Or perhaps you two could do an "over-nighter" somewhere, where you could really talk??? Maybe you could get some things straightened out that need to be??? And she could get HER issues taken care of too.

I wish you the very best. Take care & God bless. Hugs, Lee
