I am sick of winter, and we have quite a bit of winter yet to enjoy. Happens every year. And one of these years I hope to spend a winter in a warm climate. No reason I can't, so like so many other things, it is up to me.
I had dinner with my son tonight. It was good to see him and talk. I was impressed by his questions, not prying but legit. The conversation was somewhat guarded, but it was a first step. I hope there are more steps in the future. Relationships between a parent and their children are the collateral damage of the divorce. You would expect a certain amount of acrimony between the divorcing couple, but when the kids pile on or take sides, it is a bit too much. When the kids are older, their opinions are stronger as is the emotion.
But, that is how it is. I suppose it is a process that some of us will work through, and others may choose not to. Life is too short to carry anger and hurt.
