I know I am doing the right thing. I love STBX dearly but we are just not the same people we were 13 years ago and are not compatible now AT ALL.
However I am now incredibly sad. I miss him dearly even with everything that has been going on. I know it's only natural but now that he is sober it's more of the man I feel in love with 13 years ago and it's hard with all the holiday memories.
It doesn't help that our 5 year old asked me last night why we can't be a family anymore. We have been separated for almost 1.5 years......I thought by now it would be easier.
Re: Post holiday sadness.
Well that should motivate you any time you start thinking about the good old days and why you can't be a family again. Remember that you are better off without him. I imagine it's hard to answer those questions, but no matter what they are asking now, one day they will realize the truth for themselves. Dad was a loser so mom left and she busted her butt to take care of us.
Try to think positive, and things will continue to get easier as time goes on.
