As a parent you want nothing but the best for your children. You love them more than anything in this world and you want to make sure that you make the best possible decisions for them. You set aside your own needs and wants because they are your number one priority. I felt so guilty after my divorce. I thought about how my decision to marry my ex husband had affected our son. How that decision changed his life forever and caused him to go through such a traumatic experience at such a young age. I was overcome with guilt and after we split I thought how can I possibly trust myself to make this kind of a decision again?
I believe everything in this life happens for a reason. I married my ex for a reason and Logan and I had to go through what we went through to get to where we are today. We learned things that we couldn’t have learned in any other way. I think it prepared us for something better. But did I really trust myself enough to make the right decisions for us again? At first I didn’t. I was terrified of making the wrong decision, not for my sake, but for the sake of my son. As a parent every decision you make affects your children, the good and the bad. What a huge responsibility it is to make the right decision for them! At times it can be overwhelming. But when you learn to trust yourself you can’t go wrong. Listen to what your heart is telling you. You know your children better than any other person in this world. If you feel it is right, go forward, and don’t look back. Even if it doesn’t turn out how you expected it to, things happen for a reason. At times, the decision may seem like a disaster, you may start to question yourself, but in the end you felt that it was right for a reason. Life has a funny way of working out sometimes. It takes twists and turns you never would have expected, but it’s those twists and turns that lead us to where we are supposed to be. Trust yourself to make the right decision, you never know where it may lead you.
