I REALLY appreciate the overwhelming response for my family and I, it means a LOT to us. The kids took it ok, well at least the 3, 4, and 7 year old sons did, but the 11 year old daughter was a bit more difficult. She was a bit upset at not being told this morning, since my wife and I chose to tell her AFTER school instead of before she went this morning. She will be ok though, I raised her to be stong.
I lost me birth father in 1992, so this is the last "real" parent I had left. I feel very "numb" emotionally now and am having a more difficult time with it than I had expected I would. The last time we spoke we had an argument and that is tugging at my heart to no end right now. I know there is nothing I can do about it now, but I REALLY wish I could change that last conversation. I am feeling so "down" and numb that I have not been able to actually react at all to this for the most part. I am not an expressive person when it comes to showing emotions, but this time around it is bothering me, to be honest. I guess at some point it will come out, but for now I just can't understand my own lack of reaction to last nights events.
Again, thank you ALL very much for the thoughts and prayers. I actually feel like I need them now more than ever as I am concerned with how I am going to handle this all when it comes to a head (no pun intended). Take care and God Bless you ALL.
