Concentrate on the now.. not the soon to be. When he is gone on his holiday trip, don't bug him with phone calls or texts. This is a little mini taste of what life will be like without you and the kiddos. You are not done yet! Positive self talk is a must!! As long as you are willing to keep trying, there is still hope! My office at work was covered with post it notes with positive quotes on them to keep me going. when i woke up in the morning, i read a new quote from an inspiration book I bought.

Take care of yourself!!! It is okay to cry every once in a while (bravo on the four day stretch!!). Just pick yourself back up and start again! You also need to work on forgiving yourself. Forgiveness is a choice - you may have to choose it several times a day - but it's still a choice.

Have a wonderful holiday pur... for you and for your boys!!


When you are happy as an individual, you are in a better position to determine whether a partner enhances your happy life or weighs it down.
