I think the appropriate response to your son is, "I understand why you say that, but she is your mother and deserves the chance to be there."
Rose - that is a great validating statement - unfortunately any time I bring up W - S is quick to shoot down all suggestions including W and then quickly follows up with "I don't want to talk about it!" What am I to do ? I do not want to jeopardize my R with S. He trusts me to respect his requests. I don't want to loose what i have with him.
We went to church today - Today's Thanksgiving sermon was about family and how God hates divorce. After listening of all that God wants from us and about his unconditional LOVE- I kinda got emotional but managed to keep it together. I want to reach out to all who are here and suggest we take a moment to think of all the things that make LIFE better. Be thankful for our health. Thankful for our families- take a moment to hug them extra tight. For our trials and tribulations along with the opportunities that lay ahead. Be mindful of ALL that is good. Enjoy all that make your heart dance. Happy Thanksgiving to you all. We are united in Love and prayers. Blessings!
