I think you are doing very well. It must be hard on their birthdays. Your children are lucky to have you, even though you had to suffer for them to come into the world.
Congrats on your fresh start. Do you have enough support where you are?

As you say in your story, you can not change this awful events and you can not take away the pain and the memories but you have a fresh start now and ou and your children can start putting ghosts to rest and living feeling safe. You should consider family therapy so that you can all talk about things safely, Just because you have all suffered terrible misgivings it does not mean that you cant all go on to have a happy and loving family and home life. I wish you much luck babe and if you ever need a huge cyber hug i will give you one.*SQUISH*

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps.
