Week 2

It’s been 2 weeks of freedom and it’s been so very hard. My children miss their father and he has come to see them. In those visits I’ve noticed that after he has left my children show the same attitude and anger they had before he moved out. It’s put me in a hard spot because either way my children are hurting but at least this way he’s not around all the time putting them down and making them cry. I was a stay at home mom while I was with him and now am searching for a job. I just found a bus driver job and am very excited about it. It’s my first taste of independence and I am happy for this stp forward. Learning to create a new budget for my family and start new routines has been a challenge but very rewarding. Right now the hardest part is relearning to love myself and to help my son who was another target of his fathers narcissistic abuse that he is loved although he is a child the wounds run deep for him. I think I will need to find some counseling for him and hopefully he will come out of this less harmed then he is right now
