Good Morning JN

Yep. Get another PlayStation. Lol. smile And a couple of memory sticks for the boys to take their saved progress from home to home.

Ah, home cooked meals. And from Dad! Perfect!

I am going to assure you of something JN; me being a little further down this path. You and your kids are going to be fine, probably even great.

When my life and my kids lives changed, I was pretty scared. What the h3ll am I going to do? I am not a SAH Mom. Lots of things changed at home - the home cooked meals, the house cleaning, someone actual being here when the kids get home from school and various activities, grocery shopping, our family’s very support structure, and so on.

After 20 months I can assure you kids adjust. It is their life (and your’s), and those lives are great.

All those changes, in lifestyle, two homes (I didn’t have that one), only one parent, cleaning, shopping, sleeping, etc... become the new normal.

And as much as things changed, other things don’t change. Hmmmm....

No, I am incorrect on that!

I found, you still love your children, care for them, provide for them, and ensure they get clear of this mess. You just do it, feel it, more. You do become better! Your family, kids and you, become a tighter group, open and honest, with lots of trust and respect. It does take a little while and effort to get there. Children, teens, young adults, or still rebellious and need to lash out against authority - that’s you. smile However, overall things will, and do, change for the better.

When your children look back at their childhood, they will remember the sights and smells of home cooked meals, a loving home, and a wonderful and caring Dad.

The rest just fades to fact, a path that was travelled. This mess becomes unimportant, just stuff that happened. The truly important facets of our lives shine out even brighter, especially when against a dark background.

Have faith JN.

And home cooked meals.

Feelings are fleeting.
Be better, not bitter.
Love the person, forgive the sin.
