My last post was a vent about my stbx not coming back to us and not coming to xmas with us. It broke my 8yr olds heart. He wrote this song in school today. Now my heart is broken for him even more...

Am I all alone
am I all alone.
giving up all I own
trying to make it home, am all alone

gutair solo

can you help me
retreive my goal!
everyone has left
me. but? will you stay , with meeeeeeeeeeee
please
stay with me
end.

This is exactly how he wrote it. I thought I was doing a good job comforting him, but man...he just handed me this. I feel like I do not desirve him. God I love that kid, how can a man leave and not look DEEP into his kids? How?
I just have to do even better!

it looks like you are doing great! he is gifted and also able to take his sorrows and do something creative with them. that is the best that anyone can do. it is truly awful that our children have to learn some hard lessons about love and loss while they are little, but he seems like he has the resources to be really strong.

Bless his precious little heart, and yours too. So very glad he has a Mother who obviously loves him very much. Keep it up!

I know exactly how you feel. It's terrible, that our children have to feel these pains at such a young age. Any age as far as that goes.

I've been trying to comfort my son also and recently found I wasn't quite getting it done. You gave me a great idea and we had great fun starting it last night. I wish I had some advise to give you in return. You can message me if you like.

One more big problem, my wife is gone crazy and she wants to take the kid out state and don't even think of the consequences to the kid. I want to be there for him, eventhough my relationship has ended with my wife. There are guys who really care

It is a tribute to you that he can express himself and feels safe doing it. You obviously have not burdened him with your own issues to where he feels he has got to hold it in. Brava!
Be sure to keep and record and basically make this song permanent. In the future you and he can look back and see how far you all have come.

I don't know how the "hurters" can stand themselves. Can't they see the pain of others?

From the mouths of babes, what an amazing child. Hold him close and let him know that you are there for him. I am sorry for your sorrow, but your children are blessed with a great mom.

You can't shield him from his feelings, but it's wonderful that he can share them with you. Proves he's not really alone at all.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
