there is a road that meets the road that goes to my house

Life it goes on. It really does.

When you are a parent, a mother, you have to march on. Keep on being the best mother you can be. Remember that your problems are not your childrens. They just need to be loved. Loved without question and despite circumstances.

I am loving my children. More than ever. We are enjoying all of our moments together. I have slowed right down. Living in each moment with them. Truly revelling in these little wonders i have created. Celebrating being their mother, having children who show me that life is good. That together we can be happy, we can do anything.

Being alone is hard. All the thinking. All the questions. What do i really want. Who am i. How did i get to this point. Is this what i want.

I am working through the weekend. The kids are with their father. I am centered. My brain is functioning at a perfect balance of happy/sad. Thoughtful. Not manic.

Life does go on...with or without you. May as well jump in with both feet eh? Hugs to a great mom. Enjoy the peace and quiet.

Jess, I can't tell from your posts, really, whether you are okay or not, but just wanted to send you some love and let you know that I'm thinking of you, kiddo.

I am so sorry for this turn in your life. Please tell us who the children are living with.

Divorce is painful. I am living that, too.

I am, however, grateful for the closeness that separation from ex has brought to my daughter and I.

Relationships will redefine. I hope you can see the joy in those new facets.

Good luck to you.
