Glad you're going to make these adjustments...
Well I am trying. Last night our son and I had a talk about feelings, how we have to talk about them to get them out and make room for more to enter us. I explained if we get too stuffed up with our feelings there is no room for more and we don't give ourselves the option to feel. In little guy terms of course.
I started a book with him last night about alcoholism in parents. It is kid friendly and made for his age group. He took it well and was very receptive and so cute about it. I am happy about spending more time with him, snuggling, sharing and seeing him happy and well cared for.
It is sad about dad's choices, but I can learn from the challenges it presents and so can our son. I am choosing to look at this from a positive point of view. Now that I have taken care of a solution I feel much better again.
