Rasing a daughter without a mother is hard

I never planned on raising my children without their mother but I have no choice now. My boy is easy most of his struggles are missing her and I have him seeing a counselor to help with that.

But my daughter the other hand that's a different story. As she gets older I know less and less about how to help her with things that she is going through. Things a girl needs to talk to her mom about. Changes she doesn't understand and I don't either. She has Grandma and Star but I know it's not the same. I hate that I can't fix this issue for her. I think I'm going to talk to her doctors about this and how try and make things easier on her.

I hate that women for doing this to my children.

I know that feeling, my husband left when Kaci was 5 and Ashleigh was 13, he just walked out without a goodbye. I found later he had been seeing another woman all the time, my girls wanted their Dad but eventually i told them what he had done, it made it somewhat easier.

@MummyKaren72 he know she left but I think it's never getting that closure of her ready being gone. They mostly my boy thinks that she will come back. That makes it hard. He doesn't want to give up on his mom.
She left us over 2 years ago and I haven't heard a word from her. I don't even know where she is

@Cigarguy that is the hardest part not knowing where she is and having to tell your children you don't know where she is and being at a young age it is tough.

@MummyKaren72 My wife was sleeping with another man and when i found out i told my kids and all the family what she had done. When i left the bank account was empty she moved all the money so i left with just my cloths. My kids are much closer to me than her but i moved on and now spend as much time with my kids and grand kids

@Cigarguy that iscl the hard part a young man like that should not have to deal with such a thing in his young life, he has a life to live and does not need that playing on his mind.
