The boys went to spend a few days with their dad and his girlfriend. At first I was freaking out, I didn't know what to expect, and neither did they. They were nervous too. I tried to remain calm around them and kept saying, "you're going to have such a great time." I wasn't sure about it, but I kept saying it, maybe I was trying to convince us all.
I will admit that I was also nervous about what I would do. My life revolves around the kids these days. I don't do a whole lot without them.
It all turned out great. They had so much fun, and I got a chance to hang out with friends and relax a bit.
One thing that had me really concerned was the fact that they were spending time with people that I don't know, including their dad's girlfriend. I wasn't sure how that would work out. It was really good though. They really like her, and she isn't trying to replace me. It never hurts to have someone else love my kids. The way she came into their lives may have started out in a negative way, but from what they told me, it couldn't have gone better.
H & A both said that if we were to meet in a different way, we would probably get along really well. This has put my heart and mind at ease. It has also helped me to heal a bit.
I don't know that they will ever read this, but I thank you M & K for making this all easier for the boys! I pray that we can "co-parent" with peace and grace.
