COG~

Very common, especially among us that have the tendency to want to be in control. It's very healthy that you recognize that, and never too late to change. Your kid's, and future man, will love you for it.

Letting go was one of the healthiest things that I had to learn. There is such peace and fulfillment in acceptance. It's so nice to not have to get frustrated if W is moody, or the car won't start, or people don't act like I want them to. I still get a little frustrated sometimes, but NOTHING like I used to.

I think these arelinked, and yes, my life is a LOT less stressful because of my new attitude. The only thing I still need to work on is my anger when someone cuts me off. Seriously, that's probably the one thing I really can't seem to get past, lol!

Tell them that their dad loves them dearly, and he's a good man, but he just did'nt have very good training as a H, God bless him. Then teach them what a good H looks like, and better yet, show them one that you know.

This is a GREAT suggestion! I don't know any good ones that I can introduce him to, but I like the way you suggest talking about H. It's loving and non-judgemental.

Thanks, COG!
