Had a great day GALing with the kids!!! We had a blast.
Our friends live an hr away. So the return home gave us some alone time together. D asks me if W is ever going to come home. The question opened up a discussion with my kid at a level and depth I never experienced with them before. It was heart felt but direct. Where we are at and where we are going together. They now realize it is their mother whom they need to have answer some of the questions that have been left unanswered. My D hasn't spoke about any of this to anyone, until today. She let it all hang out . It hurts me to now know by their own words, the pain, anger, and fear they have been holding inside. We cried and laughed that hr drive home. Once we were home we all hugged each other and made a promise to make everyday the best day we can.
Tonight my D craws into bed with me to watch a movie. She now sleeps beside me. She was very loving and affectionate tonight. She just wanted to be close to dad.
I must say the silver lining in all this .... my relationship with my kids is growing stronger, it’s pure, and wonderful. Goodnight all
