Breathe in, breathe out (read all 6 entries…)
Trying to breathe out...

It’s difficult to keep breathing these days.
Especially when the kids ask questions and I have to lie to reassure them that everything is fine.
And when I have been making sure for months there was time for a project that most likely can be thrown away now.
And also when the kids are planning a nice breakfast for mother’s day, which they can’t do by themselves – and I know that I have to do the preparations for that, because someone else is far too busy sending flowers elsewhere…

This too shall pass…

I thought so, too, but it was silly of me to think that if only I did my best, everything would be better.

Aloha50 I trust the universe!

It's not silly....

I think when we try our best, in the painful moment it seems like it’s not getting better, but we have no clue that things are in the works and we will only see what we’ve created when we go further up the road.
That’s when we get the “ah ha!” moment. Unfortunately you have to go through the painful heart wrenching experience to get there though.
You have it doubly tough, because you have to be the stability (rock) for your children.

I’m glad to have the children so that I have to sit this one out and decide for myself what’s best. Just running away is very appealing right now, but wouldn’t really solve anything.
Thanks, aloha!

I just read this

and I think it’s meant for you today:

The Miraculous Smile

In our face there are dozens of muscles, and when we’re angry or afraid, those muscles hold a lot of tension. But if we know to breathe in and be aware of them, and breathe out and smile to them, we can help them release the tension. Our face can be completely different after one in-breath and out-breath. A smile can bring a miracle.

Big love and hugs… So sad that you have to go through this and you are right it will pass, it is all temporary. But in the moment it is still painful. I am sorry to say that that ‘someone’ of whom you speak of, is incredibly bloody selfish… You take good care of yourself, you deserve so much better than this xxx

I agree with jimrin. You’re too good for him and deserve far better.

Also, I hope this isn’t out of line, but I would suggest telling your children at least part of the truth. Maybe not the bald truth but that their parents are going through a rough time.

If they’re asking, they’ve picked up on something being amiss and deserve to know; especially as it does affect their life even if it’s only through how it’s affecting you now. I was around their age when this happened to my parents and I was upset but appreciated and respected their honesty with me. If things don’t work out, they will not only be hurt from being blindsided, but will be extremely upset at you for lying to them and saying everything’s okay. (That happened to my cousins and it was brutal. They hated their dad for his infidelity and their mom for lying and saying nothing was wrong. It not only hurt them and their parents, but also left the children with no one they felt they could go to.)

Thank you, bsa. Maybe you are right. I just don’t want them to turn against their father. He already thinks that he can’t give them anything and at this point that isn’t exactly helping.

I am telling to my children that their father is busy, which is true. It is a big part of the truth, and the rest I don’t understand enough myself to be able to explain to two very young children.

I understand what you are saying, though…

You know your children best, so I’m sure whatever your instincts say to do you should do.

(I just meant something like ‘dad’s very busy and he and I/we are trying to work on some stuff for all of us/to help our family, etc…not recommending telling them the specifics; like you said, you haven’t quite decided how you feel about everything and don’t want to affect their feelings towards their father.)

It's a tough call

but I have to agree with BSA. It seems difficult, but I think it will help you as well as them and give you some support. As much as possible (and without undermining their trust in me to care for them) I try to let my children know that their parents are human. They overwhelm me with their empathy and love! Of course, mine are too young to really understand what the potential consequences may be, so they won’t fret. But if yours are asking questions, perhaps they already are? I think everything in the above post is wonderful advice.

How old are your children, if I may ask?
Mine are also still young and I am trying to explain everything to them as good as I can, in a way that I think they can understand.

They are playing “mother, father and child regularly, with the two of them – the father is always at work. ;) But they are playing to surprise the father or to go somewhere or something like that. It’s all positive and I think as long as it’s staying that way, the “Daddy is busy”- explanation isn’t too bad.

I am telling them something like this already and make sure they know that they haven’t done anything wrong. It’s very important to me that they know at leats that.
