So, how the heck do the kids EVER make sense of it...
They don't Alex......and I don't think anyone does, really....even the WAS. People do the best they can and become the best they can.....what more can anyone expect? As one LBH said, "I'll be the best H I can possibly be and if that is not good enough for her, then I don't know anything left to do." He's right!
It doesn't help the children....and never will. Nothing will make sense to them why mom & dad got a D. They may know the facts, but it still won't make sense to them b/c in their minds their parents were never suppose to get D. Kind of makes you think about your wedding day, doesn't it?
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
