No Easy Way To Say

I feel your pain and hope you will find many hidden blessings that aren't visible yet. I have no flowery words to offer, as we all walk with our demons and crosses and so often people will allow them to come between themselves and those they love.

Being apart doesn't make us less of a family.

The children are doing pretty good, as good as can be in a separation. B is hanging out with them tonnes.

I note that despite your hurt and frustration you can still take it upon yourself to treasure the bonds while edifying him where it is deserving. Thank you, the display of dignity and love is warming. I will pray for him that he can face this demon and best its seduction of his soul.

oh, Lyndsay, dear..
(I 've stopped myself from writing tearful words of pity for you)
why? because you're STRONG, and you don't need any kind of pity.
Moreover! It's not a tragedy of the life. All are alive! All the rest can be changed if it's worth of it.
And I really appreciate you go on public and share this family news here.
and how wise you both are to go on to be just parents, caring and loving, despite of your inner problems.

P.S. My brother has just divorced after 22 years of living together. 2 kids. Common flat. It was VERY hard for him. I was afraid he had lost life sense at all. But time passed, and he is better now, thanks Heaven! And he does see the sense and the light of this life, and it's even brighter, because he has gone away from the bitch who poisoned his life for the last 10 years.
Moreover, she is a SO fucking bitch that she tries to prevent his communication with kids, and the sense of her life isn't kids but poisoning if his life, even now...

By the way, I know what you're talking about..
Before my marriage I had long relationship with a boy who had crazy passion to sports betting.
It cost us so much money, time and my nerves...
So many scandals, so much shouting and stresses, but no result.
It's a disease, a real one.
People are ok, adequate, but they start playing, they are obsessed. It's very hard to overcome.
So I know this problem, dear..

Ladyballs;))
even here you joke;))
Love you, SiSTAR!<3

I’m sorry you’re going through rough waters, to say the least. Addiction is a disease that ruins family and no one on the outside can truly understand what you are going through. We may not chat much but you and your husband have always been kind to people. I remember from my newbie days. My best wishes to you to stay strong.

Remember it is his addiction not yours. You know what it takes to control an addiction, did any thing anyone said to you make you quit? It had to be a choice you made. You know what helped you, and even though it may be painful right now to revisit it in yourself, it is there you will remember what people did, and how they helped you, and what did not help. The most caring person in the world could get it wrong and exacerbate the issues. Time is the only thing that will show progress.

I read this yesterday but wanted to take some time to reply. I truly am sorry for the heartache you are feeling right now. I know exactly how you feel when trust is broken. I know you are strong strong women but it doesnt change the hurt. I am sorry you have to go thru this. It will be okay. You will be okay.

amymya (60) · 6 years ago

I feel you Lyndsay. Im still a mess, and still sad and mad, and trying to find peace, and working through so many things.
I know you can do this, get through this, and you and the kids with be be better than okay. We all will.
Much love and hugs ♡♡♡♡♡

Querida amiga, creo que ambos tomaron la mejor decisión, esa decisión fue la correcta para ambos, y para sus chicos...
La musa a veces desaparece, ella regresará pronto, lo que no debes perder es la ilusión de un mañana mejor, eso hará las cosas más fáciles.
Gracias por la confianza de creer en nosotros y de confiranos estas cosas, yo valoro mucho la confianza de las personas, y respeto mucho su vida privada, pero si te sientes mejor contándonos, pues aquí estaré para leerte @lyndsaybowes.

Dear friend, I think they both made the best decision, that decision was the right one for both of them, and for their kids...
The muse sometimes disappears, she will come back soon, what you should not lose is the illusion of a better tomorrow, that will make things easier.
Thanks for the trust of believing in us and confirming these things, I value people's trust very much, and I respect their private life very much, but if you feel better telling us, then I will be here to read to you @lyndsaybowes.

Again...

THANK YOU!

I am very sad to hear this news Lyndsay.
To be honest very shocked indeed. Life can throw us some realy big challenges sometimes but they can all be overcome with patience and Love. There is nothing more I can say that will help. Time is the key I can assure you.
Big Love and hugs to you and your family from Me and Jemma 💗💗
