Life it goes on. It really does.
When you are a parent, a mother, you have to march on. Keep on being the best mother you can be. Remember that your problems are not your childrens. They just need to be loved. Loved without question and despite circumstances.
I am loving my children. More than ever. We are enjoying all of our moments together. I have slowed right down. Living in each moment with them. Truly revelling in these little wonders i have created. Celebrating being their mother, having children who show me that life is good. That together we can be happy, we can do anything.
Being alone is hard. All the thinking. All the questions. What do i really want. Who am i. How did i get to this point. Is this what i want.
I am working through the weekend. The kids are with their father. I am centered. My brain is functioning at a perfect balance of happy/sad. Thoughtful. Not manic.
there is a road that meets the road that goes to my house

Stay calm, stay focused, stay balanced.
Heres to a calm weekend.
To me, you sound better than you ever have.
Keep the faith.
Jess, have a good weekend. I will be thinking of you all.
I just wanted to say that I believe in you.
From a fellow sister in the U.K

Life does go on…with or without you. May as well jump in with both feet eh? Hugs to a great mom. Enjoy the peace and quiet.
Jess, I can’t tell from your posts, really, whether you are okay or not, but just wanted to send you some love and let you know that I’m thinking of you, kiddo.
I am so sorry for this turn in your life. Please tell us who the children are living with.
Divorce is painful. I am living that, too.
I am, however, grateful for the closeness that separation from ex has brought to my daughter and I.
Relationships will redefine. I hope you can see the joy in those new facets.
Good luck to you.
Thinking of you and Shane and the kids.
I enjoy your blog though I have not yet commented. I wish you and your family peace and health during this fragile time, a friend just to the south in Seattle

I just got caught up on several months of your blog. Sorry to hear about your trials. I am going through something similiar, my new quest is to just find joy…joy in everything I do. It is hard. My prayers are with you and your family.
