Re: going through divorce

Many wise people, like Mother Theresa and Ghandi state that the strength and stability of the "family" is essential for the integrity of a nation. With a broken home you will naturally have strife issues. I wish the best for you. You are your childrens mother. I believe you should go with your gut, to provide that necessary structure, stability, love, esteem that your kids need. You can do it! And take care of your needs, so you can care for them. You are a good mom because you took the action of seeking help. Sadly some moms dont.

Re: Re: going through divorce

Thank you much for responding back I guess my gut tell me some many things i sometimes know it the best but then i also think so many things so i get confused.
But having help or advise from others out there is a big help and keeps me motivated to do the best I can
thank you

Re: going through divorce

The guilt of a divorce for parents can be overwhelming. Don't let it stop you from moving on with your life. All that you can do is try your best - to raise your children, to have a happy relationship, to be content with yourself. By doing your best, your kids will see who you are. They will see that no matter what happens, you fight through it. Try to be confident, so you can step out on your own fully. I know that telling you to be confident is easier said then done, but there are some things you can do. Think about each dicision you make, how it will effect you and your kids. My best friend, Sara, went through a divorce that made her feel like a bad mom (even though she wasn't). She used a getting over divorce hypnosis cd from IndependentAchievement.com I'm sure other places have somehting like it too. That helped her, and also doing things just for her kids helped - spending time just enjoying being with them. Good Luck
