HI SB. Yes, the pain of marriage break up is severe. I really did think I was going to die of a broken heart. But I’m tough and my life certainly did move on and end up WAY better than it was before.

It is so easy to do something different (if something is not working, why keep doing it) but I think we forget to manage our emotions, choice and behaviours when we are in deep emotional pain.

Hope all is well with you and your son with Fragile X . I think of you often. My son (the one with Aspergers) is back living with us again. We’ve got him in a traditional school now (decided not to home school because of my work commitments) and he is doing very well. Mxx

The grief of a marriage break up sucks doesn’t it but what a wonderful idea you had to develop a tradition that belonged to just you and the kids. It says we are OK we have each other

You are welcome PQ – thank you for sharing all of your tips. A most useful e-book.

My little story above sounds so far from the painful reality that it was all those years ago. From our simple choice of having breakfast by candle light grew an ongoing tradition of the symbolism of fire and talking. The fire saved our burnt souls.

Thank you firstly for sharing your story Megan. It is particularly relvenant for me, as I have a very dear friend who is experiencing the very same situation. I will forward her the link for this post and I think it will provide her with some inspiration.
