Haven't cried this hard from a commercial since I was pregnant

I just saw the Verizon holiday commercial that features the Island of Misfit Toys from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.  This was one of my favorite movies as a kid and it still holds a special place in my heart. I just started balling. I started thinking about how excited I was to watch it will my babies this holiday season. How excited I was to read them The Night Before Christmas.

Then I started thinking (AGAIN!) about how I was going to be alone at Christmas, no husband and no babies. I know I have been venting about this a lot, I just can't seem to shake it. I know so many people who are terrible to their spouses, they are mean and they cheat so on and so on. Yet they are still married. They still have someone who loves them. I see 16 year olds that will walk away from their babies in the grocery store. I just don't know how I am supposed to see all these "undeserving" people getting everything that I want for me when I know that I would be a great Mom and I know that I was a wonderful wife.

Ugh, I know that we are all feeling the same way about the holidays and I hate to think of so many people feeling this kind of pain. I wish I could pull out a magical box of band-aids and take away the pain. If there is anything I can do to help anyone get through this let me know. I appreciate you all listening!

    I know how you feel.  I wish I could make things better for you.  My husband is still here but acts like he wishes he wasn't some days (and he has threatened to leave...usually when I am at my lowest). I don't "get over it" fast enough for him. 

    I am also dreading the holidays.  There are too many reminders. No matter how hard I try to think positive and appreciate what I have, there is till an empty space.

    I will be praying that things get better for you.

    I'm so sorry you're having to deal with so many horrible things at once.  You are clearly an amazingly strong woman to have kept it together through this.  One day at a time, you will find a new normal and you will always have your bump family when you need to let it out.  {{HUGS}}
