How do I exorcise this feeling that something has/is being taken from me and my children?
I can amp myself up, get the PMA, focus on other things. But, at the end of the day, I feel really screwed over.
Hey there.
I think we're much better off when the aim and focus is on ourselves...at least then the aim and focus is on something that we have control over.
I agree, as I think we are all pretty much dealing with the same feelings too!
It's not just just a feeling aliveandkicking...it's a fact! Something has/is being taken from you and your children...for right now anyway! It's a big loss, that's for sure! But, it might not last! Anyway, it hurts, and it's disappointing.
You do get screwed over when this kind of stuff happens to you. It's bad...that's a certainty! But, we can not only survive...we can get through it! And we can resolve to being better people, better parents, and better partners.
Living well is the best revenge!
And I don't mean revenge directed towards our spouses either...I mean revenge, so to speak, directed towards the bad things that have happened to us! Kind of like 'when life gives you lemons...make lemonade!' You getting amped up, and having a PMA, and focusing on other things...will definately help you and your kids! So keep it up! Even though, your feelings at the end of the day are true and correct. Remember...persistence and determination!
