I've learned a great deal over the past year about myself and how we grow or deal with situations like saving our marriages affect our children. Something I've told the WW a few months ago still sticks in my head. I can't say I've read this one anywhere before (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) but it came to me almost as an epiphany of sorts that I've turned into a quote of the day (or life) here goes:
"Our children don't remember what you've done for them or provided them with. They remember and grow from the way we (parents) react and deal with situations"
Comments?? Flames? Praise?

There is a clock on the wall ticking. I don't know where it is or what time it is but she's waiting for something. Actually, I think I found the clock. I can't see it clearly enough to read it though....

At my lowest point following d-day, when I didn't know what to do for the best my test became " which option will I be most proud to tell my children I chose, if this doesn't work out?".
Never failed me, that test.
And I have set an example of grace under pressure to my kids. I'm proud of that. Heroism isn't an absense of fear: It is brave action despite fear.
Th ebest advice I can give any BS is be the functional example to your kids. They need ONE functional parent while the other is in la la land.
Be guided by your own advice BS.
