Ya know, the former Mr. Gypsy scooted out to be with a woman 17 years younger, made her the top priority, drained all our savings for a standard divorce, penciled the kids into his schedule for an hour every few months, married her and is expecting a baby who will be born shortly before his 57th birthday.
It just sounds crazy... like... really?
But this perception took time.. lots of time. With the finalization of the divorce in sight life became surreal. Only AFTER divorce could the healing even start to begin. At least for me.
The woman who was your wife left long ago. A long long time ago. And so what if the guy is loaded? He still has to poop on a toilet and will most likely be replaced in due time.
Divorce begins in the mind. And as I was always reassured, I got the good stuff.. a healthy secure relationship with my kids (well.. two out of three!)
And you, Mr. Positivist of Men, are the dad, who shows his love for his children in countless ways. It's about you... not her... or at least that will come in time.
