Yes, it is sad....it is tragic and I wonder how adults can be so selfish. And kids do miss stuff too. I am now dealing with an XAH that is also neglecting the kids and trying to find some serenity in it all because it sure does push those old buttons from my childhood wounds.
I'm getting to the point now where I don't think about the "What could have beens?" and the "What in the heck is wrong with these people that they are neglecting their kids?" because it doesn't get me anywhere but MAD
and doesn't help the current situation. So, my new motto is to deal with what is, have fun, and keep working on me. Well, I'm a work in progress and have lots of slip ups...difference is I dust off and get right back up and that never used to happen.
