Another unpleasant part of divorce is the children involved. If you and your spouse can keep your shit together and not use the kids as bargaining points, that is. And that tends to be the hardest part. It is hard because kids have activities that they are involved in and you have to go to them. Kids want their parents their, even if they are divorced. It doesn’t matter to your kids.
Last night I had the opportunity to attend a musical that my daughter was in. And even though the musical was entertaining, it sucked to me because I was there by myself. There is nothing like sitting in an auditorium with people who you used to socialize with and have them ignore you. All because of a divorce.
And the range of emotions as I was watching my daughter on stage. I carry a picture of her taken when she was around 5 years old. She was an adorable, outgoing, chubby little angel. And now she is a beautiful young woman on the verge of making her own mistakes in life. I hope she has learned something from me.
