Hooray!
I have to say, I was very stressed out while they were gone. I don't think anyone can blame me for that...my ex has a solid history of both being irresponsible where the children are concerned and also being deliberately spiteful towards me. Never a good combination. But like I mentioned before, I took every precaution that I could, and I spoke to them every other day.
They came home this past weekend. And from what I can see, they had a fabulous trip. They went to the beach every day, they attended their dad's wedding, and they got to travel. They even got to see the Eiffel tower during their 7 hour stopover in Paris. Nice.
So now, I feel a bit better. Perhaps I won't be so stressed should he decide to travel with them again. I said PERHAPS.
In the meantime, while it's unfortunate for his new wife to be married to a grade A jerk, it does mean he is finally (well hopefully finally) off my hands and officially someone else's problem. While I wouldn't wish those problems on anyone, and while I do hope he will make the third time a charm for this marriage, I do have some major relief in the fact that he hopefully will have other distractions to deal with, which means less time to bother me.
In the meantime, I can sit and cuddle and enjoy the kids again. Hooray! My kids are home :)
