By the time I hit my mid twenties, my desire for a family was overwhelming. The dating and partying was quickly growing old... and then I met L's papa. I even told him on our first date (after a few drinks) that I wanted five kids, and he called the next day to remind me of what I had said! It all went pretty quickly after that... the ring, the house, L and the 'I dos' (in that order). And just like that I had it all. With another beautiful baby on the way in September, I have it all... If only it were that simple...
Things seemed so perfect until all of a sudden they weren't so perfect. I'm left with so many questions... (and so many ellipses). What happens when mama and papa just can't seem to get along? What happens when mama and papa simply coexist for the sake of L and baby to be? What then? Can coexisting work? Does it benefit the children? Or does it eventually just grow sour and fall apart? Can it be fixed? How?
