that he's leaving us.

This will truly break my little angel's heart and I don't know how to help him.

to you and your baby. What a hard thing to go through for him. In a way I am glad that stbx left when he did b/c ds won't remember living with him.

Oh, TeaBag....oh, I feel for you and your little boy. But I know you'll hold him and tell him you're going to be there for him no matter what, for always, even when he's a grown-up man.

Truly, I will be praying for you and your son.

They are out right now, stbx took him to dinner and then to a park to talk. I hope and pray that I'm strong enough to not break down when ds does.

I totally am a nervous wreck. This is my baby. I'm supposed to protect him and I cannot protect him from this. He's only 7, he's too young to know such pain. The girls are younger and while they will hurt and miss him, they don't have the same relationship with him that ds does. I want so badly to just hold him close and protect him from this hurt. And I can't. And it breaks my heart all over again.

mama, i am so sorry for you and your little ones. (i knew you would be a wreck, but i was HOPING!)
i know how hard it has been for us and my oldest was only 4 last month. 7 is pretty old, but still way too young to understand. TRY, TRY, TRY to think about things that can pull you through, like "children would rather be in a split-parent life than a dysfunctional home" or "my family isn't broken - i fixed it when i got a divorce!"
and cry on the shoulders of the mamas on this forum because they can be some pretty amazing women when you need them!

Thinking of you lots right now

 

[EVC]

Not a single mama, but I saw your post and wanted to send my prayers your way

I'm sorry you are going through this, I hope your DS is OK. My heart breaks for you both.

Hugs for all of you.
It is difficult for kids to understand. I've been separated for 5 years now and my oldest is now 8 and he still asks why it can't be.....but it can't.

The best thing you can do is let your children know that you are there for them. This is the only thing you can control, the way you parent them and the way you live your life.

Sometimes the words seem more frightening than what actually happens. As days and weeks go by and the new routines become established, everyone realizes that the stability and love they've felt all along is still there and it makes it easier.

I hope it goes as well as it can.

I'm tearing up at the thought of such a young heart being hurt. My prayers are with your little one (and you) Things will soon smooth out and things will eventually become more stable. ITA that you need to keep the positive thoughts in your mind and have faith that things will be OK for all of you. It may be initially hard, but you will all pull through. ((((hugs))))

 

[TeaBag]

Well, it went better than I expected. He's asking a lot of questions and expressing his emotions very well, so hopefully, we can keep this line of communication open. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
