Hey Dane, nice to see ya on my thread! welcome...you can visit anytime you like...
Pearl....*sigh* I know. But, I'm with ya on hanging on to the karma idea...gives me some comfort.
Something I noticed today that brought me to tears. Was putting some clothes away in D13's room and noticed she has a pic of me on my wedding day taped on her mirror. No other pics there... not of friends, self etc. Just me in my wedding gown.
Kids don't know about the A. They know we were struggling and dad wasn't home much for quite a few months, then sat them down and said he was thinking of moving out. During this time D13 was clearly most affected. She would sleep with me often when her dad was sleeping in the spare room all those nights when he wouldn't come home til 1 or 2 a.m. (OMG just got triggered even writing about that nightmare time).
Anyway, *breathing deeply* when H re-commited he made sure to tell kids he wasn't going anywhere and things were better with us. Around then I noticed D13 looking throuh our wedding album and pointing out how much she liked that pic of me.
I think it is a symbol to her that things are better, more secure.
THAT, my friends is most definitely ONE of the many reasons I am going to keep fighting for this M, even though some days it is so hard....
