It definitely sucks, and it is really getting in the way of my school work (to the point where I just want to quit completely), my relationship with my boyfriend, my family, and just overall my life. I try to ignore all the negative, unreasonable emotions, but it can be completely overwhelming.<br /><br />I am sorry about your divorce, though. Just know that whatever happened wasn't your fault and that you still have kids who do love you.<br /><br />Good luck with everything and take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476678910063439425.post-37910155490895753182009-04-23T12:06:00.000-07:002009-04-23T12:06:00.000-07:00Robyn, my cousin (check her blog: blendingitallto...Robyn, my cousin (check her blog: blendingitalltogether.blogspot.com) is going through exactly the same thing. She and her son moved in with me just 3 weeks ago. Perhaps it will help you to read her blog and know that what you feel is shared and normal.

Children will never understand how we feel, and as harsh as it sounds, aren't too concerned. They want to feel safe, and they want to know that you are in control of the situation and yourself. I had to fake it lots of times and I'm sure I fell short many. The one bit of advice I can offer, is to take care of yourself, especially when they are not with you. They will grow up and figure things out on their own, believe me. It takes a long time to feel validated by the wrongs done to you. Even then, when they know what their dad did and what kind of person he is, bottom line is, he's still their dad. Your kids will love you, but you want them to want to be with you.Be strong, consistent, and patient. I hope this all makes sense to you and you understand what I'm trying to say. You WILL get through this, and you will love yourself even more for what you can accomplish. <br />Take care and have a good day.<br />TerrieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
