Parenting after a Loss

Single Parenting After A Loss

That's what I've been doing.

I left my DH and Cancun. And all of my clothes behind. I almost wasn't allowed to leave the country because they thought I was stealing Gabe without his permission, which was not the case. Last time around when all the dramz went down in September I set up some boundaries. He crossed them on Thanksgiving so I left the next day.

So for everyone who has been asking, that's what is going on with yours truly.

  • I am so sorry.  Through your posts, you seem like someone who is very strong and has a good head on her shoulders.  I know from experience that it takes a lot of effort to move yourself out of a bad situation like that into a better one and it is quite a transition.  You are an awesome moma for looking out for the best interest of yourself and your son as hard as it may be.
  • BIG (HUGS) and I give you a TON of credit- you are strong mamma and truly are doing what's right for you and Gabe.  I know things might not be easy for you right now- but you will get through this.
