Thank you, Gardener, Awest and GM! I am interested in learning of any good books or info, etc. about tips for raising kids as a single mom WITH a dad in the picture. Pass it along...
OK just got back from a baby shower that included a couple of teachers that I will be working with next year. I casually mentioned that I was going through a divorce (it came up naturally somehow) and then QUICKLY changed the subject.
Well, I KNOW people are curious and it makes them scared in a way. One woman, who I met a couple of years ago at the mom of honor's bachelorette party, actually had the nerve to ask me "was it your decision or no? " "so what happened? were there just ongoing issues?" Maybe I am sensitive/defensive so please let me know if this the case (honestly! TELL ME!) but I don't even know this woman and she is prying? I just said "no it wasn't my decision, but it takes 2 people to want to stay married. We have been separated for a little while now. I am at least grateful that he is a good dad to our son and we are being civil" then we got distracted.
The teacher I work in the same hall with just said "I am so sorry!"
Gee, I have butterflies about telling everyone! I guess I will do it one at a time? I already informed 12 people on the BUNCO team...but I know EVERYBODY it seems...I wish I could equate this to something else to figure out how to prepare for it!
