Parents: help me parenting while separated (2)

[Ripe]

Besides the cheeseless tunnels I think I was really in a fog, Avanti.
How else can I explain that, being physical touch my main love language, I remained in a sexless marriage for so long, not daring to ask questions like "what do I feel?", "what do I need?" or "what do I want?".
This realization during one of my sessions with IC that I had been miserable and alone in my marriage made me cry.
Walking in cheeseless tunnels implies that at least we more or less know what we want and where we are heading, I think.

And know, something completely different.
In my happiness course we are now studying forgiveness.
It's a pity I cannot post here the materials, because they would do some good to some of us.
Anyway, one of the steps to forgiveness is the following:
"8. Remember that a life well lived is your best revenge. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, and thereby giving power over you to the person who caused you pain, learn to look for the love, beauty, and kindness around you. Put more energy into appreciating what you have rather than attending to what you do not have."

Today is Friday and I am planning on having a wonderful weekend with my kids and friends. On Sunday I organized a walk and I am preparing lunch for five of them.
