A New Target

Little AoA is now a salty 14 year old who loves to learn about people. Yesterday, this teen looked up the dad, and discovered that he has a new “girlfriend”, and is wanting to sell the family farm to move closer to her. He is trying to find a horse to buy too, probably because she is a horse person.

I’m not sure exactly how to feel about this. The thought of being able to move around in our own little town without the kids going into a panic if they even see cars that look like his, is foreign to me. The kids and I have been living in fight or flight mode for most of their lives! I am happy to maybe put this chapter behind us earlier than I predicted. I am fully prepared to live like this until Little AoA turns 18, in just under four more years.

Then there is the part of me that doesn’t want anyone to have to endure the mental abuse that the kids and I have lived through. I don’t know the person, but I do know someone in her Facebook friends list. I decided to reach out to the person I knew. I let her know the situation, and if this was a good friend and good person, she may want to give a warning at least. Well, it seems that the “girlfriend” has somewhat of a reputation as a bully of sorts, and is not really well liked. So, I feel like I have done what I can, and now I move on!

On to another chapter…..maybe soon!
