Holiday weekend

Easter weekend and feeling a little sad. I miss him alot sometimes. I will miss him especially this weekend. I used to call him my "honey bunny" It doesn't feel as excruciating as it did before, i feel like i can handle these times a little better now. I haven't fully detached yet and I am still grieving. I thought about him when i bought the Easter bunnies for my kids today. I wanted to buy him one. Oh well, i didn't of course. Just feeling.

The first year is tough.
I was remembering the times that we had together, as a family. I missed her the most around the holidays.
The further along you detach, it gets easier. It takes time

Thanks Mutt
Yes it is hard. It must b much harder if you have children together. Double the pain.
Im feeling better as the evening has progressed even. I feel more peaceful being out of the relationship now and more able to regulate my emotions at times like these. Never thought i would get here. Its still early days i know but im getting there. Not so fragmented, lying a little low on the posting here. Mostly reading others . Don't have alot to say right now. Mayb this is a natural part of the process

Yes, it is hard with kids on holidays, but after I passed the first year, I thought we'll be creating our own memories. I missed the in laws, we had spent a lot of time with them. Haven't talked to any of them. This is my first divorce, I have read some people talking to their ex inlaws, but I was distorted, with her distortion campaign. I'm not sure for how long, I sense longer than I think.
I hope all is well over Easter weekend corraline.
