"After H left, I tried to keep S6 distracted by having him 'teach' me how to play his video game (honestly, if it's not Mario or Tetris, I can't play it) We ate dinner together and had a pillow fight- even LittleS played too! Bath, Books and Bed.... I kept our routine normal and didn't draw any attention to H's absence. S6 went to bed with a smile. I feel good about being the one that gives him peace and comfort in his home. Their smiles and hugs are little little band-aids on my broken heart. Their sense of security is all that matters."
Purg, you are focused on the right things, your kids. That is all that matters. H will someday have to face the music. but you'll keep going for the kids and somewhere along the way you will find peace.
