“With all my heart with you… My daughter has been at her father’s since Thursday and will be back tomorrow… Even after so many years, it still hurts so much, especially since it’s not the position I chose… I give myself the right to cry too,” said one subscriber. “.
“My parents divorced when I was 12. I lived exactly what you are experiencing today once I had to leave one or both of my parents to go partying at the other. I came to hate this party which stirred up so many feelings. Life was good to me, it allowed me to reconcile With Christmas by giving me the happiness of giving birth to a son on Christmas Day, a surprise pregnancy!’ another said.
