I am a firm believer in "what goes around comes around". It is UNFAIR and UNFORTUNATE and seems so UNJUST that the K's are caught in the middle of this cr@p.
Here is something from a letter I wrote to W back in September:
"The last few months in our house have been anything but enjoyable. I do not see how they could be enjoyable for you, they have not been enjoyable for me and a part that I find really bothersome is that they HAVE NOT BEEN ENJOYABLE FOR OUR CHILDREN. I believe that the summer of 2008 is one that they will forever want to vanish from their memory. Sad. As a family we are to be creating memories for our kids and we are - but they are memories that they will not cherish.
I do not like what is happening to our children. They are being affected, and I firmly believe in more ways than we know or we can see. I do not believe the kids "will be fine". They will deal with things in a manner that they need to and they will cope, but they will never be fine. You may disagree, but I am not willing to take that gamble on the 3 lives we have been entrusted to raise and nurture. They get one chance at being a child / teen, and what we are providing right now is certainly not giving them the best opportunity to learn, grow or enjoy these years."
The result of this - NOT A DAMN THING! Didn't expect it to have an impact and at least the expectations were met. The K's don't fit the "all about me" mindset.
Stay strong for those K's - and for you!
