I really hope you and your D had a wonderful time and didn't focus too much on his absence...
Those moments, while they do hurt our kids, fade...
Especially if our MLCer does try to reconnect with them eventually...
And what they remember are the good times that they had with us...
You guys will be ok. Your girls and guys, see your strength. They are thriving despite his weaknesses...
Sometimes, I have wondered if seeing both sides of it, causes our children to lean toward the strength...to aspire to have it themselves...to learn lessons early that we learn much later in life as the MLC hits...
We pass onto them all that we have learned. I have watched my S embrace these things much easier than I did. I have watched him integrate them into his person, as he passes through adolescense into adulthood.
I am sure your children are doing the same...
No idea what else to say here right now lol...
Have a good day my friend...
