I need your advice ladies. I'm not sure what's normal to feel during the divorce or how should the kids react. Rilo has become a terror. Maybe that's in part due to my being gone alot. I disappear nightly because I cannot handle this, and this is affecting school. I just think I hit my breaking point. I move in 3 weeks and I need to find a way to pull myself together. Need advice, word, honesty. Thanks

Tasha, I haven't been through this so I can't give you advice from experience. I can only imagine how tough it is, but if it all possible make the divorce a routine, go through the motion sort of thing as much as possible, in that you need to keep your focus on the kids and school. That's your primary. Things are changing for the kids and you need to keep as much as your routine as possible. They'll feed off you and will need as much normalcy as you can provide. Its also a good idea to find a counselor for your older ones. Talk about it, let them know what's going on but in a negative way. I can't tell you how stressed my childhood was because I was constantly used as pawn between my parents and always hearing about the negatives in one another. I feel for ya girl and know you have tried all you can to make this work! Hang in there and keep a positive outlook for those boys. They need to know its going to be ok :) ((hugs))

sorry if that sounded a bit repetitive but I had 2 phone calls, 2 trips to the potty for DD and her climbing on me while typing...ahh the joys :) I know you guys went to a counselor, is that person giving you any help to cope? If it's too much to stay in the same house during all this, is there anywhere you and the boys can go in the meantime? Personally I would try to hold off for the boys so they moved as little as possible. I really wish I had better advice for you.

I move out in a week. I start packing this weekend. Such a tragedy. We agreed to not talk for 2 months straight and go on a couple dates. I have one tomorrow night. And I gave my number to the guy from work to hangout; I need to figure this out. At least I have a strong support system
