Hey 3b,
out of the mouths of babes hey... my d6 asked me why i let daddy leave, (when he moved out) and why he doesn't love mummy anymore? ouch!
But the custody part is kind of true about them making there own decisions up. It only took 1 solid week for my little ones to ignore daddy's requests when he visited. They seemed to adjust quickly which scared me but also made me realised I wasn't ever going to lose them. I think that's what I was most scared about. New woman etc etc but I am their mum and nothing will ever change that - and they will respond to the one putting in the effort.
You will get your empowerment soon - capable of anything you wish and not affraid of anything :-)
(()) hugs to you
