i was reading my first journl entries
i now know that my h was beginning the affair around that time. its funny how i had no idea specifically that he was having an affair, but i knew that something major was wrong and that a change was happening. i started coming to this site for support as we were disconnected and i now know that he was having an affair. his attention was not on me or us. and i knew that was wrong. how tired can u get? and he didn't wanna address what was happening or what he was doing.
im grateful for the ability to choose healing. can't fix what u dont acknowledge. so avoiding is not a great way to live. im choosing to live.
ive been through a lot of loss the last few years. the marriage, the baby, idk how many jobs, school.....went 2 a support group 2day and the facilitator reminded me that i havent grieved for the baby i lost b/c the baby was so quickly replaced by a new child, but warned that at some point i may need to grieve that child. and that ill nd 2 grieve the marriage as well.
i dont know how 2 grieve the baby or the marriage when i havent totally given up on it. as the facilitator pointed out all these things r kinda intertwined. she suggested i just accept that its gonna come and 2 allow it when it does and dont b shocked.
ill try.
