If you've been on my blog lately, you'll notice there are no longer pictures of my kids....if you go back into the history, those photos have been removed as well, so some posts probably don't make any kind of sense! These are changes that were requested by my children's father. He and I are currently going through the divorce process. After several years of trying to mend the fence, the best thing for us and for the children is to divorce. I know there are a lot of people in the world who think staying together for the kids is what's best and divorce later in life. I disagree with this school of thought...kids are smart, they know what's going on. I don't think it's healthy for children to be involved in a 'loveless' marriage, because they will grow up thinking that's what marriage is, just getting by. I want more for my children, I want them to experience the true joy of loving and being loved. I know marriage is hard work and not all fairy tales, but at some point, when both people stop trying, there isn't much left to work with. It is a sad time in our lives, but in the long run, things will be better for all of us.
