The love is gone
The marriage is over
However, we are partners in parenting
For the rest of their lives

Hard, but doable. Hang in there.
Thanks!

The most important thing to remember is that your role as dad is equally as important as your ex-wife’s role as mother. Too often, men get discouraged and pushed aside. You are a hero in your kids’ eyes. Keep them close and let them know each day you love them. Build a bridge between your ex-wife and yourself. You will always be connected. There will be graduations, weddings, and births of grandchildren. You were in love once; that love has just changed to another phase in your lives. I wish you much happiness as you move to this new phase in your life. Hang in there and God’s blessings!
Thanks for your encouragement. I’m not going anywhere in my kid’s life. I will still be the same dad I was. Involved, affectionate, conscientious of their needs. God has us all even though things are different now.
In every loss something remains. Your kids still have parents who will be a part of their lives. Beautiful. Thanks for linking your lines.
Thanks Patricia 😀
Very powerful poem. And a reality of divorce. -Jill
