I've had those thoughts,I had to pack clothes for the kids' visit to my in-laws for the picture that will go on their Christmas card. aND they went to a theme park and had a whole series of pictures taken without me.
On the other hand, when we called my MIL for her birthday she said "remember, I've got your back," in a voice like she feared I'd keep the kids from her. The son of one of their close friends is going through an ugly divorce and his W is doing exactly that.
It gives me a stomachache to compare us to them. WE ARE NOT.
Anyway, I'm turning your good advice back to you. Instead of thinking of yourself as Sandra Bullock in the first half of the movie, think of yourself as the strong woman who gets herself home and finds hope in the future in spite of facing the brutal truth in her life.
Roar!!
