Dear Diary

Another day down. I'm exhausted but somewhere in the chaos, I think some good will come. I had a good day with Adam. He is standing on his own now, but hasn't mastered the step forward yet.

Caty is struggling. Everything is an argument. She will look at you and deliberately not listen. I feel bad for her, but can't reward her behavior. If I do, then she will think it is acceptable. It is painful to send an emotionally drained 6 year old to time out, to witness the tantrums, and to think that her mother is delusional in her own life.

Sabrina had soccer today. She seems to be doing really well. In fact, she keeps saying that she is relieved that she didn't move away from her Dad. They are close.


If anyone is reading this and you are thinking about moving away from your kids or you are in a custody battle to remove your kids from another responsible parent, please consider your kids. There is no win for them. They lose a parent either way and possibly siblings and other family. I'm watching the destruction each and every day. Don't make the same mistake as Lucinda.
