Is this cake eating 11

[labug]

I'm glad the prom went well and you were able to enjoy the moment.

It reminds me of Mother's Day this past year when my sons and I went out for dinner. As I sat I notices all the happy families around and really noticed the absence of H. In my IC appt the next day I related all this to her.

I was whining about how everyone else seemed to be intact families and here we were, the 3 of us without the H/Dad/ Waaaa, waaaa, waaaa. I was in real victim mode.

She looked me straight in the eye and said, "I'm concerned about where your head is. Your sons were with you, wanted to be with you on Mother's Day an all you could think about was what was missing."

She brought me up short and she was right.

I understand your feelings of humiliation but when you can separate you from your H's actions, you will be able to move beyond this. The people who matter and really know you will know the truth, those who don't won't matter.
