Children and Moving Debbisea: I grew up in this town, currently live in this town, and work in this town. My children go to school here too!
I want a fresh start. My children will lose it if I even mention it.
There is so much gossip about me and my soon to be ex husband that my daughter even asked me if one of the woman that my ex was with was the reason for the divorce. She is 10.
We live in a very large house that my father built for me. My ex will not let me keep it unless I buy him out. It will put a great strain on me to keep it. Plus I am so embarassed by the gossip that has gone on around here :-[
I work in the schools and face the woman that he was with. What do I do? ???
Re:Children and Moving RecoveringinDE: I don't think you have anything to be embarrassed about to be honest. If he is the one that cheated on you, he is the one that should be embarrassed. Unfortunately I have not read what your situation is and I will do so as soon as I'm done posting this.
Regarding your children, that is where it becomes an issue for me. They are the innocents in this. Why should they be punished for what their parents did? Can you consider moving to an area close enough to home to visit, but far enough that your children won't run into rumors?
Re:Children and Moving :broken:: The only people ambarrased here should be the gossipers! ;D What do they know about your situation? When I separated from my husband there were many rumors going around through people I knew, him included, I didn't run, could have, but I didn't. Now he has to eat every one of his words because here I am, a woman givng his child a home, paying for it, and he can't even get himself an apartment.
But, do you want a new start, or do you think running will leave the problems behind? :-\
Re:Children and Moving teacherwriterguy: It sounds like the place that you are in means a lot to you and your children.
Stay.
Gossip is temporary and fleeting. Things will die down, and you'll regret leaving behind something that matters to you.
