Flowmom- I agree. I am fighting every instinct I have to make this easier for them by not telling them they don't deserve to be treated this way. It's just what I want them to know, make sense? D12 knew about EA before I did. So I can't lie to her but do say, your daddy loves you and this isn't about you and your brother. She's old enough to see it. I allow her those feelings but remind her this is about adults. She just shakes her head and says, whatever mom. It's just hard. I wish she was younger right now. Plus they didn't have a great relationship prior to him leaving making this more difficult.
Thank you for keeping me in check!
Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.
