Kids of divorce go through a lot, and as much as we like to think that they forget it, they don’t. With good communication, and lots of patience, they may learn to overcome their emotions, but it never goes away completely.
We were reminded of this one evening at dinner.
We were discussing all sorts of things, and it came around to our family and marriage. Inevitably, we also discussed divorce.
I had a conversation yesterday that really got me thinking, so much so, that when I went home I forced my husband into one of those highly emotional, crazy conversations men hate.
He talked patiently with me despite the fact that the Stanley Cup finals were on, and I rambled on choking back tears because... well, because I was friggin emotional.
I went on about how exasperated I’ve been with the kids, how hard it is being at work when they are having dinner, the frustration I have felt between the two of us... I went on and on about EVERYTHING!
