Hi there Barely, I'm glad you're here writing out your pain. I think when you try to bury it it grows. Yeah, it sux but yeah, you'll get through it and you and the kids will be happy. Don't wallow or let them wallow in what they feel sad about. Encourage the feelings, encourage the verbalization, be d*mn glad they can say those things because you know they would be feeling them if they couldn't say them and you'd never know how their pain was growing under the surface. Hurt is not a bad thing, it's part of life. Showing them what you do when you feel hurt is your job. What do you do when you feel hurt? What do you show your kids to do when they feel hurt?
