I Stole His Friends
Well here’s a new one…4 years post divorce and he tried the smear campaign against me early into separation. It worked on a few friends and family, but ultimately I chose to ignore it and pour energy into friends and family who I didn’t have to convince of anything. They know who I am as a person. I found out recently that he’s been telling our children that I stole all of his friends after the divorce and now they feel bad for him.
The funny thing is that I’m the glue that held all of our friendships together when we were married and when we got divorced I was told several times “we tolerated him so we could hangout with you”. He also was not good at nurturing friendships, he is very much a “if you cannot benefit me in anyway then I don’t want to be friends with you”. It just makes me sad he’s talking to our children about adult things.
