I am mourning the loss of an idealized childhood that I wanted for my kids that is just gone now. Dad will not be there all of the time and mom will struggle and there will be step parents along the line...
I feel the same way. Makes me angry that my MLC-WW thinks this is not that big a deal, that it's all worth her getting her way (and not trying in any meaningful way to prevent it.) Makes me realize how self-centered she is, ultimately.
