Well, my week of being on my own, no kids, is almost over. In spite of the occasional bouts of loneliness, I did enjoy parts of it! I got to see grown up movies and come and go whenever I want.
I guess it's good to know I can get by. Sometimes, I think about how the boys will be off on their own someday (even though they insist they're going to live together and the youngest is going to live with me forever (yeah sure!) I think about how long I was on my own without a partner before I met DH. I don't want to go back to that. But I suppose it's inevitable. I don't want to "grow old" without DH. I don't even want to live without him now. I don't want to be alone. But I don't want anyone else either. aarrrrgh!
Ok. I'm going to focus on the positive for now. I made it through the week, got to see DH more often. And the boys are coming home tomorrow night (yeah! I think!)
You are so young to be going through this. But you found out that you are strong, and you CAN make it on your own. What has happened to you and your husband at such a young age is tragic, and you can't avoid the pain, but YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE IT!
Kelly, congratulations on making it through the week. Take each day one at a time and you will continue to thrive. Keep in mind a bad day may happen but that is part of the whole deal and you can make the next day better.
