I always say as long as we know we did our best and put forth our best efforts, then we should have no regrets!  As long as we know within ourselves that we did right!

You'll always wonder, jefco, in some small way, but don't beat yourself
up about it.  Just love your family and try to forgive.  Most of all, forgive yourself and move past it...

Great writing and reading!! My take from life is tried and true.....
I came from a broken home and vowed better for my children. My youngest was almost 18 when I finally gave up. Now I think my children would've been better off seeing us separate and happy. I know that my life wouldn't have been wasted and my kids would be happier now. I can definetely relate to your thoughts. Great work, Solita

We choose paths, and must choose to make whichever one we chose

the best one:  the complications of any choice are balanced by its advantages and opportunities.

Forgiving is easier than forgetting. Some things just won't stop rankling. Thanks so much for your comment.

Very well written

have we? too many times we feel so sure of ourselves and our actions. But only to realize later we could have done better or tried harder...we'll never know my dear...unless we look back and see for ourselves the fruit of our labor. we can only do so much...but we always try harder...again and again my dear...this is a powerful voice dear......

Beautiful heartfelt poem.  Oh sweetie,  how do we know what is wright and what is wrong.  All we can do is follow our heart.  Children are very resilient,  they do suffer, but they heal fast.  The important thing is for them to know that you love them. and that your ex does as well.  As long as they feel loved, they will adapt and when they grow... they will understand that life throws curbe balls .  Talk to then, let them know you are hurting too.  and that you love them and their mom too but in a different way.  Take care of you and don't worry.  Love them and everything will be OK

Jefco
These thoughts you have put across is the thought of many I am sure. So well said. Makes one think whether it's worth it after all. Especially when there are kids involved. Thank you for feeling the breeze.
