Love/Hate Oneness

Love/Hate Oneness

One's inner clouds
Render cushions of comfort
Rain becomes a cleansing
Internal sweat asking to be understood

Amidst this emotional duplicity
Children might say, "What happened?"
"These big people are so unpredictable."
"Why are they so nice all of a sudden?"

Accepting anger is resolve's first step
Feelings become normal
Impressions are accepted
For what they truly are
Impressions
Points of view
Simply
More Kramers v. Kramers of the world

Yes

When anger finds its source
Love/hate merges as one
Seeking not some desperate anchor
Instead
Mutual consciousness awakens
Recognizing differences
As merely layers of experiences
Vying for acknowledgment
Not battle

Interesting
This bomb

Without a fuse
It's just a bomb in limbo
Never to ignite its destiny

Many have their afterthoughts and some their regrets especially when the children are involved. Shame on anyone who would use their kid as a pawn. I can't stand seeing that. I could write volumes on this, Odin!! You get me going!

Love ya!

My divorce was amicable and didn't involve children. But I can see the difficulty faced by children when their parents decide to split. It must be terrible not knowing what direction you will go when that happens. For some it is as terrible as it can be. Homelessness. Abusive stepparents. Being ripped from family and friends. Used as a pawn between disputing parents. It's a wonder that children in this situation recover at all.
