I just talked to a lovely and wise person who I don’t talk to often enough. When discussing how Dick left me, she said, “He didn’t act with any kindness”. And I imagine something like this has been said to me before but today I really understood it. He didn’t just leave me. He left me close to our anniversary and moved in with his girlfriend on our anniversary. He didn’t just move his belongings. He specifically prioritized the desk we bought together with our wedding gift money. He didn’t give me time with my son, he expected 50/50 parenting time immediately when he had barely had a relationship with AJ for two years before that.
He was also happy to allow me to continue to be the decision maker and worker bee for all things related to the separation. Tell friends. Find a mediator. Deal with the bank. Change names on bills.
He did not act with kindness and I feel that everyday.
