I get it.. and in times like this.. it's extremely hard to see the glass half full.
But instead of seeing it as W leaving her kids.. look at it as awesome one on one time with them.
And even though it hurts, pray that your kids DO see their mom in a good light. They will be smart enough to see the truth, but pray that the truth will be something positive in regards to her.. not negative
... not because she necessarily deserves it, but because THEY DO.
You ask how? You just turn in over to God... over and over. There were/are times that I just prayed. It's not like you pray once and it's gone forever....
For me - it was a constant process. The angrier I got, the more I prayed.
IMO - Start there. The more you work at it and the more you turn it over.. the easier it gets. And you will start noticing more peace in your heart.

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
