What are you thinking I am thinking?
All families have their problems, arguments, disagreements but love is the underlying force.
For 35 years I have tried to make my divorced husband a good friend by keeping the family part of our relationship going. We have shared all occasions and get to gethers and talks.
Did I do it so the tie would never be broken because I could not let go; or for more positive reasons?
I once learned from a therapist never to trust an ex. I have recently found out no matter how caring and loving I have tried to be to him, his anger and hurt has stayed with him throughout our divorced life.
I have come to the conclusion after knowing him for 62 years that I no longer belong in his company or he in mine. The sad part is that one of my sons is following in his footsteps. I suddenly thought. "I don't really belong in this family."
How do you feel about yours?
