...it's Tuesday!
Told my Son today that me and my partner were breaking up, it was one of the hardest things I've had to do in a long while. I've been putting off ever since I made the decision over a week ago now, but he is coming home at the end of this week (he's been staying at his Nanny's) and I just couldn't put it off any longer.
He said something that broke my heart and made me realise that all along my decision has been the right one, and that this time I have to put them first and there happiness. I know my own is essential to their well being, but I can be happy without being sucked into a relationship as quickly as this one came about, especially as my heart was still healing and hurting.
My Son looked at me with all the wisdom of a 9 year old boy and said..
"
Mom do me a favour, just don't have any more boyfriends!"That was kind of a wake up call, one I'd been expecting if I was honest and one that was richly deserved. I made him a promise that from now on it was just us, and if or when I was to meet anybody again, it would be a long time before they became part of our family life. I could do my dating without involving them.
We need to rebuild our bonds and our family ties need to be solid before we are all ready to move on.
It's been an emotional day for all of us. My Mum and Dad go home
tomorrow, back to the sunshine from whence they came, my Son is inconsolable at their departure, even though in 3 weeks time we will be boarding a plane to spend a fortnight with them! My teenage daughter is non plussed about it and my youngest just waved them Goodbye with a smile as if she'd see them again in the morning! She is only 5 after all and at that age one day just slips into the next perfectly seamless or so it appears.
Biker guy and I are actually talking civilly to each other (the last two weeks have been vile) it's difficult, he is supposed to leave Friday. Seeing is
believing I guess. Today he has been nice, I think I prefer nasty, at least I know where I am. In the mood he is in it's hard to second guess his next move.....I wait with bated breath!
