WAH, in the thick of divorce

[JulieH]

The children's reactions are so hard! I feel for you. One of my sons (he has some behavior/sensory issues ) actually said to me " when daddy can't take me anymore he gives me to you and when you can't take me anymore you can give me to daddy". He thought it was his behavior that was the cause of the exchange. I was in tears when I heard that remark. I told him we love him when he makes good choices and bad choices and that I always want to play and be with him.

If your husband is anything like mine, he will think you are trying to make him feel guilty if you text him. (Learned this 6 mos ago in counseling when I would text him how the kids were reacting to his absences)
