((((Black tears))))

When will you overcome this sadness in your life--------when you are ready to take the steps needed to move on. I know it is hard to break but sometimes it is what is needed. For me after 18 years, I knew what needed to be done but I was holding onto the Happily Ever After, and the thoughts that it was wrong to break for the kids and for the reason of not wanting to be like my mother.

But I realized that it was what needed to happen for the both of us to go on. It hurt more than I wanted to admit----but there was also a relief. I did not die and I did not fall apart. In fact, I have been able to work on myself for the first time ever. My children were with their father but they knew I loved them. I supported them all the time and they stayed with me as much as they stayed with their father (especially my youngest daughter).

As you work through these feelings you are having----you will come to a place where you will meet yourself and you will know what to do. I do hope that time comes for you soon so that you can have peace within. You do so deserve that.

Know we are here and listening to you. And we are walking beside you, you are not alone. We validate what you are feeling and in no way are we judging you. I send you many gentle hugs and loving wishes.
