A new beginning!
I've had the last year to adjust to being a single parent. My husband and I are separated but not yet divorced. I've had to move forward with my life and am excited to be starting a new full time job this next week! I've worked two part time jobs that have been wonderful, but neither paid enough to really make ends meet. Now I'll be okay. Yay!!!! On the flip side, I'm having to come to terms with my not being able to do the things I want to do with and for my children. They're young--just 3 and 5 years old. I had wanted to be able to be their primary caretaker until my youngest was in kindergarten. Now I'll have to rely on childcare...which is okay, but I am already experiencing some of my own separation anxiety. Sigh. I know many have gone before me in doing this and many will come after... Plus I know (logically) that my kids will adjust. I'm just dealing with the emotional side of it... It'll all be okay. I have a wonderful family. I am sooooo blessed.
