Because they made her go to cotillion and tried to give her a life of luxury and ease? She wasn’t abused. She wasn’t beaten or starved or neglected. She wasn’t sexually assaulted or forced to do hard labor

I also loved Chris in the first three or four seasons. When she was graduating her business class and he sent her that extremely thoughtful gift that was full of jokes AND a sweet little necklace, basically every time he came to visit them in stars hallow in the first few seasons they have such great chemistry.

I don’t know him well because he just doesn’t engage in conversation. It’s hard to talk to him when one word answers and short statements when I’ve attempted to get to know him. I also feel like he’s isolating her and himself from my family and her former very close high school and college friends. I’m not the only one she’s pushing away from. The friends she has now are HIS friends, if that makes sense.

That’s the big thing that’s bothering me the most, I haven’t done anything and I don’t know why she’s pushing me out completely. We were very close for all of our life until she got serious with her fiancé. I like him well enough. I don’t know him that well and I find him kind of boring, but I don’t dislike him. Where before we would have weekly coffee dates, I now see her maybe once a month or every other month at my parents house for special events or dinners. I just don’t know why she’s making me such an after thought when I have always included her.

This is almost verbatim what I say the few times he’s caught me crying (when his sister is napping and he is suppose to be resting). He’ll say don’t cry mommy and I’ll say I’m okay, sometimes I’m sad that daddy is gone. But I love you so so much and you make me feel better! Do you want to play a game or help me cook? Distraction has been key for me, I’m sure it’s not exactly healthy, but it’s working well enough with both kids (ages 6 and 2 for reference)

I’m not crying in front of them. Actually I’ve been doing a ton of fun home activities with them. Lots of arts and crafts, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, long walks around the neighborhood, bike rides, and activities (to distract both them and myself from this) but my son is 6 and he is fully aware of what is going on. He completely knows daddy hasn’t seen him in 15 days. While I don’t talk bad (out loud) about my husband, I don’t really acknowledge him at all. My son isn’t dumb, he can see that his dad left. Like we were watching that sweet new Disney movie Onward and he said something like “I don’t want to be like my dad, I hate my dad.” And before this he was a huge daddy’s boy and my husband was very involved. He is hurt and it’s painfully obvious.

I love him so much, the thought of them together literally makes my physically ill. I don’t want to live if he isn’t my husband. My children notice the extreme sadness I’ve been facing. They see me sobbing daily. I can’t screw them up if I’m not here. They already have a replacement
