Man, this is taking me back... to a place I don't like. I got it through text too. Same here- caught off guard.
We never know what they are thinking, Shining. I know I still try to figure it out, but it makes more sense to figure ourselves out.
You never know what will happen with him. I'm sorry your kids are seeing you cry. Don't beat yourself up. You have to process this and it is very emotional.
It is stupid. You are not an idiot for wanting to run into his arms. That is totally normal. Those are the arm you thought would protect you. And you are feeling so down now, you'd think he'd be the one to catch you. It is difficult to adjust to not having those "arms" there anymore. But you will get there. Let it out. Feel it. Let yourself go through this.
You will get stronger.
Did I already say he was a fool? Umm... well it is worth it again.
