Went to my meeting...
and I feel better. AH came to visit with my three boys (thank you daddy for supervising) and they were so excited to just be in his presence. My daughter chose to be away, she is having a much harder time. Keep in mind, AH left for work ten days ago, while they were at school and he never came home. She is 11 and she is so angry. I can't say I blame her at all. I am 39 and I can't figure it out either. I do know the meetings are helping me and she will be going to her second Alateen meeting next week so hopefully she will begin to learn to deal with her anger and abandonment issues too. We have a long road ahead.
I still have to pinch myself. This all seems like such a nightmare.
Thanks for the wonderful encouraging and understanding words.
