I just put the lil one on the bus for the start of school -- real school -- grade 1
Truthfully I was very ready for this day....... There are days that I think I am wayyyyyy too old to be taking over the role of stepmother for a 5 nearly 6 year old. Especially one that I suspect is struggling with an emotionally distant mother........ shrug... who knows -- maybe it's not that at all.
I am at my wits end as to what has caused the change in the lil one in relation to me -- and to some part with her father. I just know school is the best place for her right now.... for her and for me.
I need to pull back from her..... I need to clear my head. I need to get myself strong (emotionally) again. Then (shrug) who knows maybe I will be able to 'fight the good fight' again...........
Seems like the beginning of a new chapter and who knows what that will bring. Sending you hugs right back from over here!
ReplyDeleteShe is growing and finding more independence. Sending positive thoughts and lots of hugs.
