Common sense tells me H needs to become a 'parent' sometime...he needs to feel better about himself somehow. Starting with the kids should be a good thing, right?
I feel left out...yet, I shouldn't.
I wouldn't feel left out if we were a family unit and he was taking the kids for the weekend on a fun trip or something. I would be LOVIN' it.
I don't know why I feel threatened, insecure, and left behind...unwanted.
I do know what you mean... when I leave my H and S15 and go out to GAL there's a voice in the back of my head that whispers "when you're not around they'll realize they don't need you". Silly? yep. That stupid voice puts a damper on my GAL activities and efforts. I'm trying to shut it up though LOL.
Stay strong and don't listen to the voice. It's full of crap.
