Brothers Balance
My children lost a lot due to my divorce. They lost dreams. They lost having one place to call home. They lost the luxury of not having to explain. Despite a good co-parenting relationship between their dad and me, the tears and rage that can accompany divorce did not escape my children. The phone call with the tiny voice saying, “I just want to be with you.” The bedroom door kicked in by my twelve year old. Cuttingly cruel words coming out of your own child’s mouth because he knows your wounds well. I wish I could have spared them.
