Wow, I don't know how you do it. In a way you are a strong person to be so intertwined with your X. I kind of tried that and was such a basket case afterwards that I could hardly function. All of us have different levels of what we can and can't take. I applaud you for what works for you.
It's just awful to see our kids go through all the pain that they do. It's heartbreaking for me to see my kids go through it. I do try to talk to my kids about it as my parents divorced when I was my kids age as well.
Sadly I don't have my kids this weekend and I am absolutely feeling empty and lonely. Tomorrow my X is taking them skiing for the first time alone. I have been the one skiing alone with my kids for the last 4 years. My kids and X are all going to be out there having a great time without me. I was the one for 4 years out there teaching my kids to ski and all the hard work that entailed.
I just went out to dinner alone and thought about the life I had with my family and how it just changed 100% one day. For the years we were together I led a very charmed life. Trips all over the world, lived in NYC for a few years, we had a beautiful cottage etc. Now I am out having dinner alone. Sorry to be so down but it's all part of the roller-coaster.
