It starts tomorrow. The supervision drops. No longer will the protection of a stable adult be present when my children are in the presence of their father. No longer do I have the peace of knowing that someone "normal" will be monitoring and attending to their safety. Starting tomorrow, I enter the world of the unknown and hope for the best.
I have done what I can and have hopefully prepared them with the ability to identify poor behaviors and choices. I hope that I have shown them compassion and encouraged a safe environment for them to tell me if things were to go amiss. I must let them walk out of my control and hope for the best.
I always imagined letting go to be when your child starts each new level of school. Will they be accepted, will they fit in, will they be happy. I never expected letting go to be when I sent my children with their father and my main concern was if they would be safe.
Yet tomorrow, I am letting go and hoping for the best.
