Love you and miss you my friend.......

Today at work I read that amazing study that tracked the children of divorce over 25 years......ages ranged from 3-18. I was crying in my office- first time in a while.
(more info on GTO,s thread)

Amazing amazing amazing. Walk aways with children are the cause of so much pain ....for their own greed ( I understand their are some valid reasons...but not many)

I understand we got in a rut, I understand we were parents and roommates with benefits, I understand the part I own.......

I don't understand what I did to make myself unworthy of even a courtesy heads up before the bomb drop. I now know we sucked at communication- why, no idea. I wish I could have a do over - but cant.

One thing that has been eating at me and I will write in length about at a later time is this. I do not know of one blended family/ second marriage I would want to emulate. A blended family with both adults having kids from prior marriages.

I have yet to see even one. They are all drama all the time and the relationship is generally a mess. Diff parenting methods,one spouse over protective of their kids, uneven discipline, natural favoritism......it's a disaster.

At least what I've seen"....................
