It is so wrong, especially to your children, to deny such a serious problem. Ignoring facts won't make them go away. As a family you need their support, not whispering behind your backs.
Children are better off with one happy parent than two fighting, quibbling adults staying together for the sake of the children. I believe your choice to raise them alone will have a positive effect on them. Your son will rise above his circumstances, not using them as an excuse to go down the same road as his father.
Hold your head high and hang in there, you're on the right track
I don't blame you for the lack of tears and feelings at the time of his passing. How can you miss someone or something you never had? Besides, he doesn't deserve your tears. You are doing a great job with your own kids and in my book that is all that matters. Hope you're feeling better soon
True Sola but then you can't use 'fling' and 'casual' in the same sentence. Love and affection has an emotional attachment which is absent in casual. An emotionally detached relationship may not be acceptable for some...
Taking notes as I am still guilty of some (most) of the things you mention here
Truth is life is way too short to sweat the small stuff. I do appreciate the simple things in life, things money can't buy and always stop to smell the roses. Those things you refer to as ordinary miracles. May you stumble upon a few of those
You will never hear or see this word again without thinking of this joke. Today's word is................. Fluctuation. I was at my bank today; there was a short line. There was just one lady in front of me, an Asian lady who was trying to exchange yen for dollars. It was obvious she was a little irritated . . . She asked the teller, "Why it change? Yesterday, I get two hunat dolla fo yen. Today I only get hunat eighty? Why it change?" The teller shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fluctuations." The Asian lady says, "Fluc you white people too"
Those with self respect would not associate with disrespectful people. In real life, given you care about someone a lot and they disrespect you, you will not stand for it and tell them to treat you better. To some extent it's also harder to turn your back on someone you care for. Me thinks those subtle and sneaky disrespectful people on here should just be ignored. Personally I wouldn't respond to any of their comments. Simples
