You shouldn't yield, nor succumb to the emotions you are currently feeling, so it's good that you are not letting them get a hold of you. The emotions that come with divorce aren't easy to overcome, so it's best to face them with a weapon, or in your case, an accompanying hobby. Continue writing about it, Jessica. I genuinely hope your days have been better. All the best to you!<br /><br /><a href="http://kurtzandblum.blogspot.com/2014/10/new-evidence-old-evidence-rules.html" rel="nofollow">Joanne Krueger @ Kurtz & Blum, PLLC</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09205065457263761390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020980704375002278.post-14855053206305389392015-06-05T18:57:14.364-04:002015-06-05T18:57:14.364-04:00great post. and sometimes you just need a place t...great post. and sometimes you just need a place to cry. a free place for someone to hold your hand and let you "let go" is sometimes all you need. either people will want to fix it or sweep it under the rug. just let us cry. after 6 years and a horrible, full trial divorce and it's still on-going, i still want to cry with someone. for someone to just hear me. <br />Stacynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020980704375002278.post-77127221477363640712015-04-22T19:14:19.030-04:002015-04-22T19:14:19.030-04:00ya gotta write. i envy you. i have a blog - it&#...ya gotta write. i envy you. i have a blog - it's been sitting quietly, waiting in the wings. it's like a friend just waiting for a call. for some reason, i can't do it or am scared....i don't know i have so much to say but can't say it. ugh. i've been going through my divorce for 5 years. it was finalized last fall and have been back to court 8 times since Dec.

Hopefully, we learn it from our parents (like in your case), so that we may posses the ability to offer it ourselves even in the midst of our greatest moments of self-doubt and judgment. Then, when we pass it on to our children, they will feel the authenticity behind it. To me, that is the greatest gift a parent can give to a child. You are blessed to have your parents. And your girls are lucky to have you shine that light on them.<br />nothing but love, <br />AdamAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836871389623553458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020980704375002278.post-3159783534312648722015-01-23T15:48:34.931-05:002015-01-23T15:48:34.931-05:00You are an inspiration!

I also became a better parent when I was single, because all of the stuff that wasn't working in our marriage was no longer taking up space in my mind. I could focus on my daughter. <br /><br />Thanks for writing!
