I am going to start call in Separation Songs Sundays too. Just because... Actually, no I won't but it is catchy.
This week was really hard for me on the separation front.
When we have our expectations shattered, when there are promises broken, when you don't want to be mad, but you are. These are all things that have happened this week.
Let's put it this way, I had to send my son off to boy scout camp where I am a leader without me and stay home with my two younger children. I love all three my children but to me this was not okay. It hurt... a lot. This was my (volunteer) job. When agreements and promises are made, you keep them. Sadly, not everyone feels this way.
To top it off, we found out that there was a passing of my children's Great Grandmother as well. We knew it was coming and she lived a good life. However, it doesn't make the hurt any less. Especially when you have to explain it to three young children.
It has been a hard week... Needless to say, you can either wallow in it or rise from it. So here is my music list this week for my separation series and it has proven to be helpful.
Fighter, by Christina, used to be somewhat of an anthem for me growing up, so I am proud to add that one here as well! Definitely one I have belted out this weekend.
Enjoy (and do me a favour and share if you like this series!)

"I know this is something I gotta do, but it doesn't mean I want to"

5. Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood
"Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool stick showing her how to shoot a combo"
"I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive, carved my name into his leather seats... maybe next time he'll think before he cheats"
"Right now, she's probably saying 'I'm drunk' and he thinks he going to get lucky"
