now my estranged husband and children's father is suddenly moving back to town. been a year. decided to move back in a couple days time it seems. he had a health scare and now is focusing on being here around our teen. says he made a big mistake abandoning us.

i suspect he ran out of resources there and wants to come back. lost the romance of his most recent job. lost the romance of his set up. he wont be staying here of course.

the kids dont want to see him and i've asked him to stay away from the house.

im annoyed because i have been busting my *** to help my kids repair (and myself and the house) and i hope he doesnt blow back in town to destabilize the efforts. not saying i'll allow him to. thankfully the year away from him has given me the self care to no longer be beneath him.

i guess its okay, its out of my control, he has a right to live wherever he wants, and him being in town does not have to mean my efforts and my kids efforts will be compromised.

my 15 yr old is already on shaky ground so i have to be extra mindful that they stay stable and feel supported by me.

fingers crossed for the near future.
