Breaking up with the first man I ever loved.

With a sad finality I am familiar with.

Toxicity within 1 hour

I haven’t seen or spoken to my Father for months. Today he popped by my house to my surprise. Turns out he found out through J that it was my daughter’s birthday and dropped by with chocolates. It started civil as it always does. I invited him to stay for dinner.

I told him, J and I are divorced. What would you do or say if your child told you that she was divorced?

Where I learned about the value of women declining as they aged

Father said he guessed there were issues when he learned that we were sleeping in separate rooms a few months back. He goes on about market value - of everything. Tells me that so many women are lonely. I told him its every older woman’s dream to live alone and not have to put up with some grumpy old man. He reassured me that he gets a lot of attention from women.
