hoo wee, that was on h3ll of a weekend. My 14yo is testing in all sorts of ways, and H and I have big challenges to deal with. I knew this would be coming and it was one of the reasons I was so extremely angry at H for deciding to leave *now*, with two boys who need their dad so desperately for the next few years. I would have rather divorced when the kids were smaller if we were going to anyway. I know it's bad at any age though.
I spent lots of moments this weekend railing against my challenges, but this morning I remembered what helped before. I need to realize this is my new normal, suck it up and get better at dealing with it. Railing against it doesn't help. I've got to float with the current I'm in and make the best of it that I can.
