You ARE do...I think that last comment says it all. You ARE doing what is right for Caroline. Don't let others facial expressions make you doubt that. It might not even be about you are the time. When you are feeling those judgements come on - remember that. Also, the people that have these kinds of judgements have no idea what you have and are going thru. I believe that the people that feel the need to judge others are usually ignorant, simple minded people. They can't and don't even try to understand the situation. THAT is their problem, not yours. <br /><br />You are doing what's best and you are going to keep doing what's best for your child because that's what mothers do. And you are the best mother for Caroline. God picked YOU out for her because he knew you'd be the best. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to do what you did. Remember THAT - you are a strong, courageous mother and Caroline is better for that.<br /><br />And also - I learned this a long time ago - Do your best to be, if anything, a friend to Tyler. Do this for Caroline's sake - he is her father and that's the worst thing, I think, for a child is when the parents are nasty to one other. I can't say that I come from any experience only having my best friend end up in a divorce with a child. I didn't like her husband, I actually couldn't stand him, he cheated on her and I witnessed it - but I still, you know, I felt for her daughter and I said the same thing to her that I just told you. With any situation like this, I can't imagine how hard it is for kids when their parents can't be, . . . well kind to one another. You and Tyler truly sound like you are being adult about the entire situation. I wish best for all of you.Troy & Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08701433932471343247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8268723950449282729.post-60411736973622844942011-02-24T16:34:50.703-05:002011-02-24T16:34:50.703-05:00I don't think that I've ever commented on ...I don't think that I've ever commented on your blog before, but I've been reading since almost the beginning. <br /><br />Please, please, please know that you are most certainly doing the right thing. Take this from a girl who grew up watching her parents argue daily and who was constantly in the middle of those arguments. <br /><br />My parents didn't get divorced until I was in college and it was awful. It was incredibly hard on all of us; I was convinced that it was my fault. (If I would have gone to school closer they would still be together - the usual guilt feelings).<br />But she stayed miserable for so long because she felt obligated that her daughter (me) have both parents together.<br />I can tell you now that I wish they would have done this long before I ever knew what was going on. Not just for the selfish reason that I wouldn't have to see all of the pain it caused, but because the marriage was over for so long - it robbed her of her life. That's 20 years she can't get back.<br />I know that a child is the most important thing to a parent, but don't forget that you first have to do what's right for you, in order to do the best thing for your daughter.<br />Good luck!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869916928033994841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8268723950449282729.post-60299876890710352362011-02-23T08:37:23.278-05:002011-02-23T08:37:23.278-05:00Time heals all wounds.
