My ex-husband missed many major events in our children's lives, one of which was their senior prom. My daughter went with her now husband. She had worked hard at school, been a leader in many school activities and I saw nothing wrong with her joining in the festivities, She now has memories that I did not have of school. I was so busy being different that I have dreams of not being able to find my locker at school. I wanted things to be different for my kids, and they are still in church but still had class rings and prom as good memories of their high school experience.
My son attended two proms and we have family photes with Mom, grandma, and his red t-top car and his dates. He still lives for God, is in church, married and has a baby on the way.
My children were so afraid of their Dad and grandpa that they did things with my knowledge and supervision that Daddy never knew about..or pretended not to know about. The fear didn't keep them from doing them and having a good time though
! I am used to taking the brunt of things/blame for things from my ex, the children, and others that I just take it all in stride and 'pray' when things get a little overwhelming.
Blessings, Rhoni
