Oh Amanda I am so sorry!! I went through a divorce and the custody part is truly awful… I took the advice of my lawyer and choose to be the positive one and the constant.. I did not speak ill of my ex and remained neutral.. It was the hardest thing I have ever experienced… In the long run my son remembers that I was the constant and consistent and the “bigger” person… God bless you and just know we are all here for you.. feel free to reach out to friends and family.. Trust me they are not “tired” of hearing about it.. they don’t expect you to be strong or to just suck it up.. give them a chance to help.. Please don’t isolate yourself… love you sweet lady.. ❤❤❤ God bless

Document, document, document in chronological order in its own spiral notebook with day, date & time. A running record is essential. No feeling sorry allowed, he knows what he’s doing. I’m happy to hear you took the high road… kiddos mental health comes first. On another note, the kitchen ‘after’ turned out fabulous!! Love the pebble color 😍

I admire your strength and maturity… rather than reacting you made sure the boys well being was put first, even though you were disappointed. That’s a good parent. ❤ don’t worry about videos as we all understand and care about you! Sending love & hugs x

I was in that same boat years ago. Not having my kids on holidays and the sad part is, he only did it to hurt me. He could have cared less if his kids were actually with him. Hes ego is bruised and unfortunately hes just going to be this way for a while. Be strong, you’ll come out looking way better anyways.

I remember the tug of war games and you are so right. There is no reason to put the boys through it. Trust me when they get older as mine have they see what you gave up to achieve peace. Stay strong Mama. You go this. ~Kay~

I understand the custody problems. My ex never held up to the plan, but I took him back to court and ultimately he lost his time. It will get better, just watch out for Christmas. We are all here for you ❤ I hope that you were not alone on Thanksgiving.

Some people use kids as pawns. Sadly I used to one. They know better and see it all! Love on them!!! They love you and probably wanted to spend time with you!! ❤

I think that kitchen got to look so beautiful, when you guys finished it. I'd give a ton to have so much counterspace. Lucky your sister. And lucky you all to have each other. I ever only had a brother (a FANTASTIC brother, that is), but he died just few days before Christmas in 2020.😢 But I hope you all feel happy to have each other.

This Crazy Life
I’m sorry I haven’t gotten this week’s video up… it’s been a heavier week, mixed with all the holiday busy-ness. I was originally supposed to have my boys for half of their school Thanksgiving break, but those plans didn’t end up being followed. 😔 I didn’t want to put them in the middle of a tug of war, so I wasn’t able to see them over break
I’m hopeful things will be finalized soon, even though I’m sure it will take a little more time. Thank you for being patient with me. I’ll be sharing the kitchen makeover tomorrow, so stay tuned! (The pic is the before of the kitchen!!)
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving if you’re here in the States… and a peaceful week wherever you are. ♡Amanda
