My S8 had a meltdown today too. Just everything. He was screaming in hysterics and I felt so powerless to help.

My mother keeps telling me that my kids need to be my first priority and I hear from your posts that your girls definitely are yours. So keep your eyes on the prize there, even though they test you test you test you.

My parents D when I was 7 and my little sister was 5. My mom did the best she could to raise us. My dad was around and we saw him every weekend. We turned out ok, I guess - we both got married and had kids - although I guess my H would argue that I didn't turn out ok.

I can hear you're a great mom and you're going to do everything you can to make sure those girls grow up with a lot of love, H or no H. You're living for you and them now.

Love means not giving up on someone even if they've given up on you.
