Building a Relationship with Bagage.
Every relationship I've ever had has not been an easy
one. Eitherone or the both of us had brought 'extras'
into the equation, be it mental or physical.
My ex left me to move into the city from our small town . we
had 2 little girls, 3 and 7 years old. She had no idea where
she would be living if it wouldnt be with a girl she knew.
As it turned out she ended up in basement apartments and
rooms- for-rent, No places for kids to be in. I refused to
alow her to take them.
So , here I am, a single father of 2 , with a full time job. I
needed a fulltime baby sitter. Thankfully after about
10 applications I found one that fit the girls needs, and
also in the end, mine. I was also surprised to find out years
later that it had been her hope too that we could make itas
a couple.
It was hard for her to be injected into the close relationship
that the girls and I had . As you may imagine, there were many
problems , of rejection , acceptance and substitution.
Fast Forward 6 years
the girls are 9 and 13 . Typical kids, lovely and loved.
My wife of 4 years now has found the place that she wants at
this time in her life. Oh, I know that will /must change.Circumstances
are such that they must. But for now
we are each others pillars, proping each other up and standing
tall.
You can take what life throws at you or puts in your path if
you have a good sense of humour , think twice before you
do or say anything hurtfull and give lots of love. You sure
get a lot in return.
