As I just got dropped off to the airport by the hubby… I’m sitting here thinking…. I’m heading to stay the weekend with my ex husband and my older two boys that we both share in a whole different state. We are going to the county fair in his town. We do this every summer I spend a weekend with them doing something and then they get their summer visitation time. Like how many husbands are so ok with this… I feel so lucky for that. Not only does my husband understand why I do it and accept it. I also have an ex husband who accepts my husband for being a huge part in my boys life. The boys and my husband and I’s younger two see two families come together for the kids. My ex and I were super young I got married at 18 had two kids and divorced by 21. Young and dumb!!! But even though it took years for my ex and I to come to this part of this journey we realize the kids are what matters not the things we did wrong as people and as a couple but the kids! The kids didn’t ask for any of it and we never want them to have my side his side .. it’s all of us together as a whole. My newly teen was having some issues with normal teenage stuff but I knew I couldn’t battle this teen thing alone so my ex and my husband and I all sat with him over a lunch to let him know we both love him and all have his back and all 3 of us are on the same page no one believes they are right and the other is wrong. We all work together to make them successful. I literally send a message at least a few times a week to my ex just checking in as his grandma is nearing her battle with some health stuff. My ex and my husband will joke around when I’m on the phone or the boys are on the phone with my ex. Literally I feel so blessed that I can give my kids a good look at what it means to not have a marriage work out wether it be not working at it cuz we were too young and dumb.. wether it be that we just grew up in different directions with different plans in life none of that matters it happened and that’s how life works not only do they have an amazing birth father they have an amazing step father who stepped up and stepped in when my ex wasn’t able to deal with things and took a path away from the kids. I am blessed. Please just realize these kids need us. The world is crazy, the world is hard and marriage isn’t like it use to be it is too easy to give up they need to see the work put into being married and being a parent …. Please take the time to make sure you took the steps to make ur kids see it’s all about them. Trust me I wasn’t always this blessed but I never gave up hope that we could get here and legit 10’years went by but we are here!!!! Better late then never! 💗💗💗
