What's Up?

OK, time to explain what's up:

My Husband and I have separated. The kids and I will move into an apartment near by, on November 15. th. I am starting school next week (some classes to finish High School). And then I will study to get a Bachelors Degree in Pedagogy, here in town as well.

The decision is something we've agreed on and we are still friendly and will continue to be so. We have always been great at working together around the kids and they are still our main focus, even though this is a very selfish decision. We haven't been able to work out our difficulties and have spent the last 3 or so years, trying hard - especially because we have kids.

I am not very creative these days....duh!....and will soon pack up all my stuff, but I will continue my Blog, only it will be a little here and a little there, to keep you up to date and as soon as the kids and I have settled in, I hope to "get back on track".... I really love my Blog world and my 2 year Bloggaversary is coming up in November!

Hugs to everyone and to those who already knows and have been so kind to me. You know who you are.....

oh I'm sorry to hear that... be strong. We are all here if you need us!

[elisa]

I always try to be positive, in any moment, so, if you've found a new path, well Kristina, I totally agree and I wish you good luck. Sometimes a couple simply doesn't work but if there is friendship and mutual respect each one could build a new life separated, but together at the same time. Surely it will be a hard re-start but don't worry, life is a bigger rotating wheel and happiness and peace are coming.
(((Hugs)))

Opbrud - ikke en af de lette ting i livet, og slet ikke, når man som i, har to vidunderlige børn at tage vare på.

Umiddelbart fornemmer jeg, at du har styr på situationen, jeg kender dig jo ikke, men alligevel, jeg synes, at jeg mærker det.

Jeg håber, at dit nye liv med tiden vil fylde dig med glæde og styrke, vejen kan vel blive bumlet en tid, men det dør man heldigvis ikke af.

Hugs tilbage til dig og dine.

Det er jeg ked af at høre :( Det er ikke noget af det letteste i verden. Jeg var selv igennem det, da Nanna var 6 år gammel. Flytning, skilsmisse, indlæggelse og skolestart i samme kvartal ;)

Men det lyder trods alt som om i har fat i den fornuftige ende af det hele, så det skal nok gå :):) Det er en svær beslutning at tage... men når den er taget, går det fremad...

Håber i kommer til at elske jeres nye liv :) Knus

[carol]

my thoughts are with you and your family- I admire your positive attitude and committment to your kids...

[Mirre]

I'm wishing you lots of strength... be well!!

[Dawn]

Oh I am so sorry to hear this but am glad that everyone is working together. Sounds like you have a very solid plan and that it will be an exciting new adventure filled with self betterment.(if that is even a word) Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
Email me if you every need to chat and please know that you have loads of folks that really care about you. I have been missing you and am glad to hear you are ok. Big hugs xoxoxo

[Kirsten]

Kristina - so sorry to hear you are dealing with this. But it does sound like you have a plan and I hope the transition is as smooth as can be for everyone. Best wishes and enjoy your classes!

[Maya]

I'm sorry it turned out this way, but I wish you happier new life!

[sally]

xoxo to you and your family! Hope the transition is smooth for you all.

[Jenn]

So sorry to hear this. I wish you all the best.

[valentina]

this was obviously a difficult decision - but you have to do what makes you happy, that way you're better able to make the people you love happy. all the best going forward and continue to be so strong.

[fanja]

Thinking of you Kristina, wishing you all the best x

[Beth]

My thoughts are with you all... It sounds like you're doing what feels right for everyone, and change can be tough but good. Best wishes for school and new beginnings...

[stephanie D]

wow, amazing that you are so strong. What a wonderful attitude and so glad to hear you can separate amicably. Not an easy decision. Wishing the best for you and your kidlets.

[heidi]

Sometimes break up is the only possible solution. Not that I'd be encouraging anybody to separate, but I think it's for the best for the kids, too. Kids love to see their parents happy, and if happiness takes being separated, what else is there to do?

I hope you and your family will be very happy as soon as possible. I know this must be a time of grieving, but you'll get through it. I admire your unique spirit that is so evident here in your blog. I just know you'll do just fine.

[Belém]

Hugs to you and your famil and lots of strenght for you all.

[mai]

oh kristina...j'espère que tu vas bien, c'est une dure épreuve,mais je sais que tu sauras faire face et prendre les bonnes choses de ta nouvelle vie...plein de bises à toi et tes enfants,continue d'être toujours une wonder woman!

Hugs to you during this difficult time. You are very brave...

[Heidi]

I'm so sorry to hear that. But glad you're going back to school. Good for you. Pleasekeep in touch.

[geek+nerd]

Thinking of you, and I hope that this decision will lead to happiness and peace for the both of you and your family.

[jen]

This choice is the LEAST selfish you could make. Research shows that kids KNOW. And I can vouch for that - I'm a children's counsellor for family violence situations. They always know - they feel the tension. They can sense it. What kind of life would that be for the kids, always knowing that Mom and Dad are only together for them? Thinking that they are the reason that mom and dad are so unhappy?

This is the better choice, for you, for your husband, and for the kids. It'll just take a while to see that.

[nichola]

Wishing you and your family all the best for your futures. It sounds like you're all working together and things are going to work out for the better. xoxoxox

[sonia]

I wish you and your family all the best in this difficult period!

[Karen S]

Hugs from my heart to all of you

[Blair]

Take good care of yourself, dear. My thoughts are with you. xo

[isoinpapu]

I´m sending you lots strenght. And warmth, hear me humming a "it´s going to be all right" song for you. Hummm.. hummm...

[manda]

Really sorry to hear what you're all going through and I hope that it all goes as smoothly as possible.
When I split up from my first husband we were determined to stay friends, even though most people seemed to think it would be impossible, and we succeeded. And I'm glad we did. Of course it's all so much more complicated because of your children but I hope things can get back on more even ground really quickly.

[Macarena]

Hello, KRITINA.

This is the first time that I write to you.
I love your blog, but just yesterday I had my own blog. I wanted to show it to you but maybe it is not the best time.
I am sorry for your situation, I am a divorced mather with three little children and I know it is a hard moment. But you will be a happy single woman soon, I am sure.
Good luck from Spain.

[marie]

Hi!
Hope you are ok. It's always difficult to change ones life. But it's better to be alone than in an unhappy relationship.

[Amanda]

So sorry to hear this. I wish you all the best and sending positive thoughts from Poland.
xoxo

[gkgirl]

i am sorry to hear this
and wish you the best of luck...

[manouche]

hello from Portugal, all my mails returns.have you change your mail? Anyway, to my mail i explain you than sometimes a good separation is better than a bad life. Your very curagious. I send you a lot of great things + sun+ kisse. Hope to read you soon.

[Sandra]

I have been reading your blog for about 6 months now and love your work and appreciate the balls it takes to be so open and honest. I am sorry to hear your news but hopefully it will be a new beginning for both of you. My parents separated when I was young and looking back now as an adult and mother of 2 kids I can see it was the right course of action for everyone. My very best wishes for all of you xx

[Dava]

All the best wishes to you. Don't forget to be kind to yourself; you are taking on a lot of work but it will be worth it!

[artway]

i'm so sorry to read that, but you have to stay positiv.
your kids are very lucky to have such good parents who can talk and be nice to each other, even in those difficults moments.
tacke care, lots of thoughts.

[michelle]

I'm thinking of you and your family, I'm sending good vibes your way.

[natascha]

That's a big change! But I'm sure is for the best. I send you tons of warm sunlight and good energie in this new adventure! I'm happy you continue posting because I love to read your blog! A big hug from Madrid!

[mijk]

sending some strength up north!

[Shin]

So sorry to hear that. Good luck on your move and getting a degree.

[Kayte]

I am sorry you and your family have had to make such a hard decision.

It's so odd how people "connect" when they have never even spoken. I have been reading your blog for a while now, but have been away from it for a tiny bit of time. Today when I was sewing some Danish flag garland for our Christmas tree I thought of you -- I woman I don't know -- and came to have a look and saw your news. I will continue to think of you and your family and hope that your decisions lead to more happiness. And while it's not much you can know that a small family in America (in Texas of all places) will be wishing you well.

[shael]

So scary what can happen to a marriage...especially when kids come I am finding out. Wow, you are a brave and strong woman and I will be thinking about you.

[camilla Engman]

I'm sorry to hear this. I hope your life will be better. I'm sure it will! kram.

[Amy]

kristina, am wishing the best of everything new. it's not easy, i'm sure on many levels, but sharing with your virtual blog friends is a cathartic way to help you get through it. it's been some time since i've posted a hello. we've since moved from seattle to the bay area near san francisco. josh was recruited to apple. take good care + hug your children.

[tania]

ahhh- hang in there- big hugs from canada-
xoxox

[Kajsa]

Hugs!!!

[stefanie]

Wishing you and your family all the best. It's nice to read that you'll try to stay friends. This will help your kids a lot. And it will make it easier for you to start into a new part of your life. I'll write you again at the end of November for our magazine swap. Hopefully I'll be in denmark in a few days for a short visit of your nice country ! Hugs, Stefanie

[Monika]

i'm veryvery sorry, dear Kristina! It's hard time for you.... I wish you all the best... kiss!

[susan]

right, well, i've been a little out of touch myself, so this is a little after the fact, but please know that i am thinking of you and sending you all kinds of good vibes your way for your new home and life. big big hugs! xxx

[Suzanne]

Go on Kristina. You're a strong woman!
