I am doing much better. Took my s out last night for ice cream and a little retail therapy. He has had a rough time with his dad being so inconsistent in contacting him and spending time with him. After three days H text him on ipad and my S wouldn't even answer and started crying and said he hates dad and dad is a liar. I am not going to cover for H but I do tell S that his dad loves him but is working through some problems of his own that isn't S's fault or mine and we can't fix it.
Really hard to watch this.
((( ouch )))
I hear you. If your son asks the divorce question, you can say "I hope not, b/c I've loved your dad a long time...(
AND OR 'we are working hard on our marriage b/c we both love you so much"
This helps reassure your son, while also being authentic for you.
If it's NOT authentic for you, by all means, say something else reassuring to your son.
I ache for you but I have faith that in the end you will be a better more loving woman for this...
and THAT IS within your control. Ain't that a great thing!?!
