It's surreal because we're still so amicable, because we're still really collaborative about our kids, because I still give out cake now and gain, because it took a long time to divorce ... sometimes I find myself asking, My God, how did I get here? How is it that my kids and I are sitting here in a whole 'nother house, sitting down for dinner, smiling, chatting.. everything seeming so normal... but with my kids' mother gone, missing, absent?
Yes, yes it is. She's amicable because you are still the baker of the cakes - when that totally stops, a different "her" will appear.
I've asked those same questions. Only the air never answered. It is what it is, my friend. You are doing well - you have to, because your kids need you to.
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
