I pray that it will reach not only her ears, but also her heart. I, too, am a divorced parent. The children are small, 9-8- and 4 years old. What can I say? God always walks with us yet still, as a woman, I get lonely for companionship and conversation. What I have learned is to put the children first and God will bless you. There is a saying that I live by now, “To have a child is to know that forever will your heart walk outside your body.” As parents all the little eyes are on us;watching and learning about the world and how they fit in. When you are a divorced or single parent the focus is even more intense. You are correct. Structure, discipline, faith and example. Delight yourself in that of God and He will give you the desires of your heart. I am not an ugly woman by any means. I have actually blossomed following the divorce. If what I wanted was “warm sheets” I could have that any night; but it’s not what is best for the children, nor me. It helps to stay focused when I remembered, “for these children I prayed.” Not just any man can walk into their lives through mine. The man I currently date didn’t meet them until after a year’s time and for the most part our dating is done on the weekends that they visit their Dad. Kudos to you, Rabbi for having the conviction to stand up and the love to try to heal Brittney. Karen Dearest Rabbi Boteach,
