Motherly Advice

[Anonymous]

My mom passed away a few years ago and I really don't have any older women I can discuss this matter with. My dh and I are separated and I truly wish we could work out our issues and reconcile. We have 2 young dc's and I want my family back very badly. However, his actions do not indicate that he wants our family back. I know I have to move on but I am scared and it's hard to let go. Any words of wisdom would be most appreciated.

Take care of yourself and your kids. Know that you deserve someone who loves you and will prioritize you in his life. Know that your kids will be fine either way.

The best thing you can do right now is move on with your life and make a warm, happy life for you and your children. Your husband might come to his senses when he sees what he's giving up, but that's not why you should do it. Do it because life goes on, you have kids to take care of, and they deserve a happy home, even if there's only one parent in it. And, like PP said, you deserve to have someone in your life who wants to be with you. If you don't, fine, make a good life for yourself and your children. You can do it.
