Divorce after Twenty years together Community Group
I want to start something for those of us that were married for a long long time. I think that we face a little different issues than those who were dating for a few years or even married for shorter period of time. Being married for so long we have older children some have grandkids dealing with teenagers and their reaction to the divorice empty nesters dating after 40...
My week started with my son making the singing group Express and it ended (today) with my son winning song leading in the 12th grade division of our Church's Lads to Leaders competition. Now I am very proud but tonight it just hit me, I never once texted my Ex about his accomplishments this week. He texted me once trying to keep Ryan from coming to this convention (as if a tornado can be predicted in any way) and Ryan told him he was coming. For some reason, I just didn't even think about the Ex. Now that's progress. There was a time when I wanted to tell him things at random and now 2 big events happen this week and I didn't even think to involve him. I must have finally got it into my head that it is not my responsibility to keep the Ex in my sons' lives. It took me 2 years but I got it!
Now for Easter service in the morning, he will be leading singing in a convention of about 1000 people. Very cool!! What an Easter present!

WOW . I understand exactly . It's a good feeling , isn't it ....
Congratulation !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's what's happening to me ......
I use to write my x and tell her things about the grandchildren..., I backed off from that .
I'll be honest , I do think about writing her sometimes , but then I just forget about it.. don't even think about it again . This Easter .......... I did write and say Happy Easter. she replied with the same . Nothing more ..just Happy Easter.
Your Son ............... Oh my God .... What a blessing you have........ God has a way of making us feel good... after all the sh-t . So Happy for you .............
You know what ..................... I know now that we all are going to survive ................and even be better off then we were ..... A deeper meaning and understanding of life and (For me) closer to God .
ENJOY !!!
