My five year old son explained to me that it's "the circle of life" when people fall out of love with one another and find someone else to love then they get married and that gives them, my son, more Mommies and Daddies to love him. So that Mommy could marry her french boyfriend and I could find some lady and marry them, to love my son.
I explained, we all have only one mommy and one daddy and I would always be my son's daddy, no matter what mommy does, and that her boy friend would never, ever be his daddy.
How do I explain marriage vows to a five year old? How do I explain his mommy broke that circle of life when she started sleeping with another man? I have tried to be the adult and let a loveless marriage go. I will never let my son go. Never. I have held my tongur and not bad mouthed mommy's adultry.
I show my love for my son and leave it at that.
I considered explaining the "Mutual of Omaha" circle of life, where the Lion mates with one lioness,
to have a lion cub, and that cub eats the antelope, then craps , which fertilizes the soil ,
which grows the grass for the next antelope to eat.
I am the lion, his mommy is the lioness , my son is the cub and her boy-toy is , well, the crap.
I even woke up at 1:30AM & googled "The Circle of Life",
but Elton John's lyrics don't help either.
I look forward to finalizing a divorce from such a morally bankrupt poisonous creature,
but she is the mother of my son, telling lies to cover her sins.
What do I tell my five year old boy?
