There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
Gordie, I suggest telling them. You will find they are a much needed support base. I missed that chance, because I knew their way of thinking. I hope and pray that the know I wasn't doing it out of meanness. I was just caught up in the ex and all that.

V sorry to hear about your mum. It's the last thing you need.
Big hug.
Thank you. Not a very good day at all. And on top of it, the ex is trying her usual. Sigh.

Sorry to hear this, Jeep. Spend as much time as you can with her and remember the good times.
Be thinking about you. These times suck.

Thank you, Woke. I am trying. I'm going to take the kids to see her after work today.
Mom has been texting me a bit today - more than she has in a long, long time. I miss that. Just never knew how much.

Reading in another thread about custody got me to thinking...I was raised to not give up on anything and to fight like hell for what I believe in. What does this situation teach kids, especially when one parent is not aware of trouble and the other does it for selfish reasons. That's one of the problems of society. No one sees the bigger picture anymore, they are just concerned with their own little corner.

It will teach them to fight like hell for what THEY believe in and that's an invaluable lesson to learn. Your children may not understand the lesson now, but they will as they get older and are able to judge the situation for themselves. I say this as a result of my own personal experiences growing up in a broken home.
On another note, I am so very sorry to read about your mom. I remember receiving that same news like it was yesterday and it's been almost 9 years. My only advice would be to cherish the time you have. I saw that time as a blessing and I took full advantage of it. My prayers are with you Jeep.

Jeep, I think our kids will see through the bs of our situations and realize that their dads stood for them and their family. It may take awhile but I honestly do think that. They absorb so much of what we say and do That i think they absorb the fight we are putting up for our families. I think it will make them more resolute and counter the "easy approach" method our Ws are showing them. Lead by example and all.
I am sorry to hear about your mom. It's no fun as our parents begin to age. Make sure you don't waste a moment with her and we will all have y'all in our thoughts. Hang in there brother. Times are tough but they won't be forever.
