A heartbreaker
My Chant’s moving to NC with his mama tomorrow. Can you hear my heart breaking?
Bailey’s a spunky three year old and i don’t think she has a LOT of clue to what’s happening to her little world.
Chant’s a different story. He’s seven. I’ve seen the allegience he hold to each of his parents. The poor kid’s being torn apart, hearing wayyyyy too much about what Mom’s saying about Dad and vice versa. And…about what they say to each other.
Sadly, they’re both too wrapped up in their own little world to notice.
Chant’s very sensitive and like his dad in sooo many ways. His mom even made a snide comment about it while we were all together last weekend and i suddenly wondered how much he’d have to suffer for being like his dad.
And i’ve been wondering if he’d even be going to live with her if he wasn’t one of the "pawns" of the divorce game.
He’s a great kid– smart and pleasant to be around. He has LOTS of friends– most of them are girls, i noticed during baseball season! See below for the smile that he flashes them!
I’ll get to spend some time with him tomorrow morning before he leaves, since i’m out with a sinus infection. I’ve been sleeping some lonnnng hours, so here i am, up in the middle of the night, thinking i’m gonna have to make a major effort to let Chant know i’m thinking about him…and that i’ll always be here for him.
And…say lots of prayers for them all.
Right now, i think i’ll go make some cookies for his trip.

Tsk. Those poor, poor children. The one may be too young to grasp what’s going on but that won’t last. Why won’t parents think before tearing each other down in front of their kids? *sigh* I’m sorry to hear you’ve a sinus infection. Feel better soon!

If only ‘being there’ was the same as being there. Good to hear from you Blessed. Just saw Country Loner a bit farther down the update list. You two were the first diaries I read, and I think you were the first to leave me a note. Old friends. Have a good Friday and a good weekeknd. Hope the sinus infection gets better quick.

Really sad.

I hate how people going through divorces always use their kids as the target to make the other one feel bad. This has to stop b/c it only hurts the children.

I know how hard it will be to let him go, but at least you have been able to reestablish a relationship with him and have made memories with him. Hugging both of you and praying too. Love ya back Fred!

aww he’s so cute! I dont know why some parents hurt thier kids by involving them in the divorce, instead of letting them have good feelings about BOTH parents. Kids NEED to see their parents as good people and loving, especially to them. At least Im sure Chant knows he has loving relatives he can rely on when he needs them. I know you’ll miss him so much!

Thank you for the kind note. I know you have your own problems to solve there but just knowing you still read, makes me smile. Everytime I look at my Blessed sign outside that has the cutest bumble bee on it, it reminds me of you hence Blessed “bee”
