Fine if he wanted to move on BUT that doesn't give him the right to put everything on your shoulders. You're going to be taken care of by those babies once they grow up, and you deserve it !Be Nice, It Pays Off !https://www.blogger.com/profile/01679055387196835861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7377914227915645124.post-36984180141577027872015-04-07T22:13:18.149-05:002015-04-07T22:13:18.149-05:00beautiful. thank you for sharing. beautiful. thank you for sharing.

Was he ever really sorry for being a selfish a$$? I mean like fine leave your spouse but f*ck he left the kids too. And I don't mean just physically. That is the one part I can never understand. They practically tell themself "Ok I am done with this life, I want a newer shiny one with no responsibilities and I don't care who I hurt as long as I get what I want." I might just still be bitter with what I went thru but that level of selfishness is beyond my understanding. Whatever happened to being a fucking decent human being?!! It's gets hard when you see the one who had no respect for your marriage and laughed at you and mocked you suddenly end up with a husband of her own and two adorable babies. Where is her karma.

I'm against burning it ... at least not all of it. These are the pieces of our history that remind us of the goodness, the provision, the navigation through the storm, the holding up of our spirits by a loving God ... however you perceive the power that sustains us beyond our human strength. I keep certain things around that remind me I am not alone in my struggles. Your lovely child's drawing is, of course, one such thing, speaking as it does of love. A co-worker once told me that he and his wife were arguing in a room with the door closed. Suddenly they both noticed a piece of paper slipping in under the door. It was a note from their small son, who had written on the paper, "HAVE LOVE." Your priorities, dear Jenny, are straight up.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08542352732125805441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7377914227915645124.post-72015225985520180652015-04-01T08:59:02.749-05:002015-04-01T08:59:02.749-05:00What you managed to do is really, truly inspiratio...What you managed to do is really, truly inspirational. I have anxiety about our debt and that is even with being able to stay on top of bills and a partner who actively contributes, so when I read about how you managed to get not only yourself but also four children through that all on your own (and with your ex basically acting against you), I think you are super human for what you did. When I was reading, I kept thinking you should shred the whole box, but I suppose burning would be more efficient (and probably more therapeutic, as well).

Out on the porch. <br /><br />I was looking at it yesterday (the drawing) and was trying to figure out where it was supposed to be...then it dawned on me: it was our new kitchen. The pendant light, the ice dispenser on the fridge. Gah!
