So of all my kids I think the oldest is the only one who’s “feeling” the divorce.\u00a0 Perhaps it was his Aspergers dealing with the change.\u00a0 Or maybe his high anxiety dealing with the stress.\u00a0 But we’ve (okay.. I’VE) tried to make it as calm and normal as possible.\u00a0 And I thought I’d succeeded!<\/p>\n
He’s finally started to repair his relationship with his father.\u00a0 Making strides in realizing his Dad isn’t “the bad guy” in this divorce.\u00a0 (I swear I spent a YEAR defending my Ex to my son!\u00a0 Which was a whole lot of ironic, to say the least!)\u00a0\u00a0 And when Sex God is over he gets to see his Mom happy and in a healthy, affection-showing relationship.\u00a0 He once spent a weekend calling us The Happy Couple.\u00a0 Which just made my day.<\/p>\n

ME:\u00a0 Luke, how about we have this discussion in a few years.\u00a0 Maybe by then you’ll have experienced it yourself.<\/p>\n
LUKE:\u00a0 Mom!\u00a0 Love is a LIE.\u00a0 Its a lie perpetrated by our Government, probably the Republicans!<\/p>\n
I don’t know which was more difficult holding back the hysterical\u00a0 giggles…. or holding back the worry that he’s one website away from become a conspiracy theorist.<\/p>\n
