Who could have guessed that all these years later, after I glued the pieces and filled in the spaces he left, my father would be so angry to come back and find me whole? To expect his regrets to fuel my regression? #divorce#singleparent#DivorceSupport
I was always trying to “fix” my father’s life. Fulfill it in ways that mattered only to me. I couldn’t see he had CHOICES, every step of the way. Choices I’ve finally stopped trying to outpace - even if sitting with them makes me sad.
@ShereeFletcher WOW - brave and beautiful conversation. I too saw how my stepparents thought they knew, but they JUST DIDN’T KNOW!! Hats off to you for handling it with grace and class and putting your SON above your EGO 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 All children of divorce should be so lucky!
#RedTableTalk Ep#1 MUST SEE for anyone in the step world. @jadapsmith THANK YOU, as a daughter of divorce, for owning your shortcomings as a naive new stepmom - couldn’t have related more. Immensely PROUD and GRATEFUL to you & @ShereeFletcher 👏🙌🏼👏
I married with FOREVER intentions, but thanks to my incredibly mature #singlemom and #singledad I go forward confidently knowing if someday it’s healthier not to stay, I CAN leave - and I’ll be OKAY 🙌🏼 #divorce#dontstayforthekids
