Keep that negativity away from us

I'm struggling lately with the reactions people have to our divorce.

People have their own values and ideas of what is right or wrong and they start looking for someone to blame or to find fault with. They judge. They haven't walked in our shoes. They haven't lived in our house. They haven't been a part of our relationship or family life and yet - they judge. They want to pick a side and figure out who did what horrible thing and who was wronged and they gossip about how bad it is that my husband and I didn't stay together forever and how wrong of a decision we have made as a couple and how it will hurt our children. They presume to know what is best for us. They assume Jeff and I are unhappy with each other right now. I find that so strange.

We're aware of their negative energy being directed this way and it seems odd because Jeff and I aren't doing that to one another. It seems to me we are happier than we have been in a very long time. Their reactions have nothing to do with us. Their reactions are completely about them.

I am ever so thankful for the people in our lives who already understand or who are open to understanding. We are blessed to have so many people who want to help us figure it all out and who are offering their support along the way. I have never felt so encompassed.

It is an interesting thing to have your world ending and beginning at the very same time - and quite strange to be judged for it. We are releasing the past, living in the present and creating our futures together. Anyone focused on creation is welcome in our lives.
