BOOM! That right there is why you have such a following.
You know what else? The kids will see how a strong woman deals with adversity. I'm not going to pretend for a moment "this is all for the best". NO. I am NOT.
What I will say though is you are making lemonade from those lemons. Because bad things will happen to your children as they grow. They too will be betrayed, disappointed, or face unfair circumstances. And they will have a role model to lead them through. They'll say to themselves "What would my mom do right now, I know she could handle this..." And, if you're lucky, you'll have a good enough relationship with them they'll call you to ask!
While everything about the fallout of D is beyond horrible, you didn't decide that and you can't protect your children or your family for that. I'm not celebrating the pain your family is in, I am just applauding how you stand by your beliefs as opposed to using this as an excuse to remain in a negative mindset. TRULY INSPIRING MAYBELL.
