My Boys: Grief and Divorce

One of my sons is a momma's boy. And he is really starting to struggle emotionally with my wife's absence. She isn't a part of his daily life anymore. And he misses her. A lot.

She called to talk to me about a few issues today, and my son really wanted to speak to her...and see her. I had to ask her to talk to him. She didn't offer on her own.

When he did get on the phone, he was so clearly torn. Lips quivering. Only able to get out a few whimpers.

She was clueless and more interested in her shopping trip.

My heart ached for him.

I try to give him as much love and reassurance as possible. He deserves that...at the very least.

I have nothing but contempt for my wife. But I can't let that show...for my boys' sake.

Hurt me, fine. But don't hurt our boys.
