This Just Breaks My Heart

While we were moving this weekend, Alex was uncharacteristically clingy. Add to the mess that it was raining all weekend, so when there was a break between showers, we were forced to move quickly, which left little time to comfort my daughter and help her understand that, yes, Dora will be okay, she’s just going to the new house. But the single worst moment was while we were taking a break at the new house, sitting around amongst the boxes.

“Go home, Mommy. Want go home.”

It makes me absolutely sick.

    We moved back in january and Callan still asks to go the old house occasionally. Overall he’s adjusted really well to living in the burbs. Kids are really flexible - she will be ok. It’s going to get better and better for the both of you. A fresh start - and everything is YOURS and not tainted. Take deep breaths, hug Alex tight and keep moving forward.
