This is a little off topic, but I needed to share. As I was procrastinating writing this morning, I came across an article on Facebook. It was a letter a woman wrote to her ex husband. If you have not came across it, I have posted the link at the bottom. I automatically assumed this was going to be some nasty letter, and I really could not handle anymore nastiness from our society this morning. (If you follow any 'awareness' pages on Facebook, you know what I mean.) So, I scrolled passed the link a few times, and finally was like okay, I am just going to read this. Once I read this beautiful letter, I was shocked at some of the replies. Here is what I wrote:
First, I would like to address the letter. I personally think it is beautiful that these two can have a relationship despite the situation. I have seen first hand how hard it is for ex wives, new wives, step siblings, stepchildren, and the stepparent. It can go in so many ways, depending on the act of everyone. These two decided to take the path of calmness and peace. Yet, now I see a lot judgment against these two decision to make peace, and raise a child without hate or anger. So what if they believe this was God’s plan? Who are you to question? Does this families actions include any of us, or interrupt our daily routine? Let’s be grateful that another child does not have to witness screaming, know the feeling of being unwanted by someone who is married to their mother/father. We forget how many other children suffer emotionally and/or abusively because of the lack of thoughts from “adults” that forget it’s not just about them, but there are children watching, listening, learning. How can one letter that brought this family peace, bring unkind words here?
Among all the nastiness in the world today, it brings back hope when you get to read something like this. I wish more families would consider this route.
