I know our relationship had to end, but I cry about it all the time.
What’s the matter with me that I’m pining over a man who turned so sour? I should feel relieved, right? How can I help myself move through this?Now wipe your nose, dry those tears and remind yourself that, had the romance continued, you might have married someone who would verbally abuse your children and cheat on you. You aren’t crying over the loss of “him” as much as grieving the loss of a dream that didn’t come to fruition.
His mother and I divorced when he was 7. He was a great kid until the divorce. After that, he became distant and wouldn’t talk much to me. I’m trying to decide if I want to contact him. I feel like I have always had to do the heavy lifting to try to have a relationship with him, and he made no effort at all to sustain one with me.So I’m asking: Should I bother trying to get in contact with him while he is in jail?Your son is sick — an addict. That he is in jail will hopefully mean he can attain sobriety. Reach out to him one more time.
