When fear comes in-between people who have committed to each other and have kids, it destroys more than is imaginable.

Over the last several years, I’ve been right beside my ex-fiancé going through his divorce and custody battle. I won’t go into it because you can read about it in another article (I’ll link it on the bottom) called, “Saying Goodbye… When You’re Still In Love).

I used to be able to pull my ex out of his moments of dissociation and bring him back. However, ultimately, over time, he started using more and more locks on his heart and I didn’t have the keys.

I’m sure you can guess from the title that E and I are done. We were 27 days from our 4-year anniversary. This all leads to what I really wanted to share with you.

What am I doing to prepare for being a single mother?

It’s not something that I EVER wanted for myself and especially my kids. However, I know that I can’t be the only one to want this to work and I know that I would rather have my kids see their parents happy apart than miserable and angry together.
