I spoke preemptively to a few friends last night- moms of kids my girls are friends with- & figured it was best of I share that there's an article before they see it. Long story short there are people in my life who aren't fooled by ah and I'm glad I'm just facing the music and not being so ashamed of the arrest that Im not talking about it. Sometimes dreading what people might think is worse than just talking openly and I'm realizing that being humble and open about what's occurred is actually resulting in more support than I could've imagined. Ah might think he's screwing me and he is in man ways but his facade is being exposed bc of this in ways he and I never expected. Heading on in now to meet w my boss's boss. Wish me luck
