Happy Birthday, Tadpole!

I cannot possibly imagine how you and Mr. Frog could be handling this whole situation better…I don’t know if I’ve already made this comment, but I’ve surely been thinking it while reading all of your recent posts–I wish my parents (who are still married after 27 miserable years) would’ve done exactly this.

Just to add to what Aaron said, I grew up in an utterly secure and utterly miserable home with parents who made each other unhappy and bitter; it was like living for 18 years under a big black cloud, which I didn’t know was there until I went away to university and looked up one day, and there it wasn’t. I have no hesitation whatsoever in wishing they’d separated and believing I’d have had a happier childhood if they had.

Brilliant, tender, perceptive and honest, revealing your true feelings though it seems that between you, you’re acting so incredibly stiff upper lipped, civilised and dispassionate (where’s the passion?) that it can’t last.
Contrary to ‘harsh home truths’ that could turn him against you, if he ever finds time to read this post, it might finally dawn on him what a foolish frog he’s been.
Are you still miffed that he meekly agreed to bugger off?

Bonjour Petite

Although this is the first time I have commented, I have been reading your blog for a while and i think it is wonderful.

I think Mr Frog and you are dealing with the whole situation wonderfully. I wanted to say that my parents seperated when I was 3 and I ended up with two loving and close families. I grew up loving them all, and being loved by them all, equally and feeling that there was nothing out of the ordinary in being in that situation. They both moved on into happy relationships htat they are still in 24 years later, and having step parents and step siblings has just made for a larger family for me.

I can’t imagine how much worse it could have been if they had stayed together, growing steadily more bitter – that would have been awful.

Happy Birthday Tadpole and strength to you Petite.

I wish you all the best. Our little boy is 21 months old and I can’t imagine him being without both of us. When I was that age my parents were clearly unhappy and that is much, much worse. Keep nice with Mr Frog and she will love you for it.
