I need to express my gratitude publically to all of you who have been so supportive of me on the Max situation. Thank you for listening to me cry, whine, fume and rage. Thank you for letting me feel what I need to feel and giving me the space to vent it all out. Thank you for offering up your inputs, it is always valuable. Please remember, I really don’t have anyone to bounce this parenting stuff off of and while part of me knows I’m going to try and manage the situation to the best of my ability and do what I think is right, the other part of me does need a little back up once in a while. I think it’s only natural, I’m not really sure any of us knows what we are doing when it comes to parenting. All we can do is look at ourselves and what history has taught us and takes those lessons and move forward.
I don’t know what the next steps are with Max just yet, but I am confident he and I will come through this ok on the other side of it all. In the meantime, my goal is to stay sane, focused and strong. No doubt that focus will be tested, I get distracted easily in life, but I always get through it. Max and I are family, Sean is his family too whether I like it or not and families trudge through the hard stuff, whether it’s uncomfortable, unfair or seems unachievable. It doesn’t have to be perfect or “my” way, but I believe a meeting of the minds is possible and I’ll keep trying until we find it or I am left with no choice.
Ha, I will have to formulate a mantra somehow encompassing all of this when Max is giving me the evil eye or I’m listening to Sean’s venomous, placating voice on the phone.
