My kids pain held me back for a while in terms of moving forward but in the past few days I feel better about my kids being okay after all this.
We cant control what our ex's do but we can control how we raise and care for our kids. We can show them that their is another way to conduct themselves.
This is on ideal but I know they will face much worse in their lifetime.
My kids also inspire me to be happy because I look forward to watching them have so many glorious moments to come, from graduations to proms to college to marriage. I want to be there for all these events and be happy not bitter.
Our emotions travel in waves and these negative feelings will pass. You are doing the right thing protecting you and the kids legally and financially.
stay positive even if you have to fake it till you make it
