This might sound ridiculous but it is like i worry about them liking OW and walking out on me like he did.. Eventho i know i am a good mother like i was a good wife.
If you feel it it's not ridiculous, it's how you are wired right now, it's his fault your uneasy. But, in your heart you know that it would never be, those are your babies!
My S24 is my H's from a GF who dumped him on H at birth. We met when S was 6 months old. I thought being just like dad (quirky, a little odd) that he might side w him. When this started S24 had just graduated college and said, dad is doing what he has to do for himself, whatever, he's gonna go for it, but that doesn't mean he's not an a$$hole, and mom, you don't have to sit around waiting, you have us, he will loose any future w us. I'll pay the mortgage w my brothers if we have to get him out!
That is about as articulate as you can get as far as knowing the kids do have an opinion, and they L their dad, but mom is who they stand with.
I worry all the time, and pay way too much attention to details also. It's almost a curse. I wish sometimes I could be one of those, WTF people and cruise thru life.
Thanks for the post, I see your D, are you on your way to becoming exquisit? Tell me any secrets you learn! I'm not D, but I am focused on me.
The past can't be ahead of you in the future. You don't have to figure it all out, just pick a direction. What's next...I don't know but I can't wait!
