I can tell you what will keep you from crying during mediation. It might sound cold, but it will work. When you sit down for that Zoom call, dig deep inside and remember the way you felt on Father's Day when India was crying her heart out at church because her dad wasn't there. Remember how your heart breaks everytime little Ari looks at you with tears in his eyes, wondering why his dad left. Remember how you feel every single time one of your beloved children cries because they miss him and don't understand why he did what he did. Remember how you felt when you considered selling your ring for milk and diaper money. Remember all the anger, fear, confusion and helplessness you and your children have had to face due to the choices of another, and let the mother lion that is within you come out. You don't have to yell or be nasty, you can be the sweet, wonderful Julie we have all come to know and love...but you don't have to get run over or agree to anything you don't want during mediation. I was divorced years ago (basically abandoned) and went through a lot of what you're going through. My ex knew I cared deeply for him and he used my love for him to get everything he asked for during mediation. If I had gone in like a lioness, I truly believe it would have turned out far different than it did. My ex ended up bailing on our kids within a year anyway, and Heavenly Father sent the most wonderful, loving, Spirit filled man into our lives 18 months later! He loved my children before he loved me! 6 months after we married he adopted them, and together we adopted one daughter in 2010. No matter what happiness looks like to you and your children, I promise you it's waiting just around the corner! You can do mediation...you can do anything because you are "THE MOMINATOR!" You are protecting your cubs and that is what their father and the lawyers need to see. Your tears will flow freely after all is said and done...and you will have zero regrets...no looking back and thinking of things you could have said or done differently. Praying for you always. YOU'VE GOT THIS!!!!
Honestly I saw through Alex many years ago. I often caught him switching his whole persona as soon as he spotted he was on camera. I thought he was well and truly faking the doting dad and husband on many occasions. And lets be real Julie....how many other women would allow there husband to travel all the time chasing their dream like you did. He acted like a man in his 20's with no responsibility while you were at home taking care of 8 children. The is no doubt that you can and do deserve so much better ❤
I kind of saw through him as well …. It can’t be good when a man is away the majority of the time and not present with his wife and family. The nature of the beast you can blame it on generational stuff or whatever has come down the pike and maybe all of that has seriously contributed but Real men who love the Lord do not walk out on their families! Please keep us posted with the outcome of the mediation and you my dear and your lovely children and Alex will continue to be in my prayers 🙏🏽🫶🏽🙏🏽
Mediation Was a joke for us, we did it twice and got absolutely no where best way to get through, it is to get mad, get angry. I don't know what happened in your case, but. I know it's hard. Try to agree on as much stuff as you can. So it doesn't have to go into the courts. Because the courts will screw you over big time.
So sad! My heart hurts for Julie and the kids. Julie your doing a great job and the kids are awesome. Stay true to you. It’ll get better Through Heavenly Father. 🥰❤️🙏🏼
My heart aches for you and the kids and just pray that God sees you through this very difficult time it is so like a death in the family . You are an amazing mother !!! You have always shown grace and love to Alex. Sending you hugs and prayers my friend
When you said, “I loved you, Alex.” I LOST IT! 😭😭 absolutely lost it. The pain that others’ agency causes is so unfair! We saw how supportive you were! How determined you were for him to succeed in his career that took him away from his family so much. And we allllll thought that this generational trauma was going to end with him. And here he is, spreading it to his kids. But YOU will break it, Julie. You and your family will.
Be strong and fight for what you deserve. Don't be walked over in mediation. You are not the one who chose this. You have been so accommodating and kind that I worry you will just say..give him whatever he wants.
There’s nothing more beautiful than true authentic transparency and pure sharing of the heart Julie. This world is full of scripted, drama addicts, phonies. That’s definitely not you. God bless you abundantly and hold you in His loving arms. Jesus is with every step of the way. He loves you so much and we love you. He heals the broken-hearted and binds of their wounds 🙏🏼✝️🤍
I’m nine years further down the same journey as you, it does get better, I promise. Hold your head high it’s not your fault, it can only work when you both work together he didn’t want that and that’s on him not you.
You were ALWAYS his number one cheerleader. Always plugging his music, concerts etc on your channel. It’s sad that you didn’t get the same in return. I hope you and your kids hearts heal soon ❤
My heart is breaking for you. Just know that you did everything you could to make it work, but you were right when you said that you can’t control what others choose to do. That which doesn’t kill us makes us stronger! Concentrate on the important things that truly matter, you and the kids. Some day they will look back and know that their mother loved them beyond all reason and did everything she could for them! Much love and prayers are being sent your way!
Do NOT cave! Get what you want! He owes you and the children support. Being nice and sweet and giving in will gain you absolutely nothing. He will take every advantage he can get, and he will do all he can to manipulate you!!!
You are an excellent mom to your children. I love to see how much time you spend with them. They are very blessed to have you. Your husband left a beautiful family who loves him. Just know during your mediation make sure you get child support for your children and alimony for yourself. I hope you’ve been talking with a lawyer. Make sure you get all that you can get. After all he is the one who left. God bless you and your beautiful children.
I don’t believe he will uphold his responsibilities. He’s been thinking only of himself for YEARS! Way before he actually left. Julie has always been alone in this relationship.
Wow Julie❤ That was an amazing video! Thank you for opening up to all of us. My heart ached with you as you spoke 😭 & I know first hand what you said was all true 🥹Watching the dogs run free was so symbolic ❤Much Love sent your way ❤❤ You Got This 👊🏻
Julie, you are a beautiful person, both inside and out. You are very special. There is going to be so much happiness in your future. Good things will come to you. God has great things in store for you. Stay strong - you are a warrior and a shining star.
When you go Mama Bear it is not about you it is about supporting his children. Religious beliefs and commitment sometimes makes us feel like we didn't try but I see you trying not quitting loving all the kiddos 100%. Keep your head on top of the conversation during the mediation this is one time you Don want to walk away saying I should have ... could have be the voice your children don't have. The Boyd are all going to to go through growth spurts and will be eating like never before (prob . The girls too I only had 1 boy) stay strong friend these next Few chapters are going to be hard but pen and paper ready I say go high way high and don't back down. Cost of living etc...cost alot more to feed and clothe the children vs 1 man 😊
Glow up baby and don't look back. This is the year you can finally focus on you and your children, see it as a blessing honey. You're gorgeous, you're smart, and you're still young and in your prime. Your heart will eventually heal, replace that space in your heart you had for him with yourself and the people that deserve that space. Stay strong warrior princess! ❤️💪🏻
My heart breaks for you and the children. Make sure that he supports all of you financially for sure. You keep your chin up. You and the children deserve the best. You're a wonderful mom and your children are amazing too! We love you and your family, Bill and Mable too! ❤️💚💜💙🧡💛💙💜💖🐶🐕
Oh Julie, sweet girl❤ There was absolutely nothing wrong with what you said. It came from your heart, I felt it. I've said it before and will say it again... I will never understand him. I happened to come across a video of him proposing to you and I sobbed... I know though, that even if you had known then what you know now you still wouldnt of done anything differently because if you had you wouldnt have your little warriors that have been right there by your side... I hope that one day Alex see's the light and that at that point it's not too late...not for you or for the kids. I see your hurt, I see the hurt in your babies, some more than other's...Ari and India in particular. I'm going to keep praying and keep loving your family and lifting you up in positivity. Stay strong mama, this too shall pass my friend❤❤❤
I have cried so many times for you! My heart just hurts for you and your family. I will say you are amazing, I have never heard you speak of him negatively or put him in a bad light. It's so nice to see someone not drag someone through the mud. Prayers for you and your family.
While it’s hard to go through things publicly, most women have to go through this quietly and privately. They feel like they’re alone, because no one shares their grief. So when you share how you feel, however hard it is, it helps other women feel like they’re not alone. Thank you.
Please whatever happens, please don't make the kids sit in front of the judge of who they want to live with. That is what happened in my family and it tore us kids apart. I hope that he has to pay a butt load of child support and has to cough up alimony since you were essentially a stay at home mom, raising the kids! Please also try to keep the kids together, not plot them apart, I if possible. You are doing a great job, your kids seem happy for the most part. Prayers to you and the kids that you get through this rough patch and only get stronger, after all he is the one missing out!
Mable is so flipping adorable running in the park. Bill listens so well. ❤ I have to agree about Covid. So many people went through changes whether good or bad. I think the people who made drastic decisions did so out of fear of the unknown and the future. Lots of people decided it was their chance to reach for the stars, live out their dreams, and take a leap of faith. A lot of those people are worse off now and regretting their decisons. You stayed grounded. You kept a level head and didn't go off the deep end. Do NOT ever think you did anything to push him out the door. You have NOTHING to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. His making his decision public was a ridiculous, impulsive move, and that's on him. People don't think less of you because of it. It's okay to have all the feelings you do. You need to process all of it and it doesn't happen within a specific time frame. Like I mentioned a while back, there's a grieving process involved; let yourself go through it. You will know when you've processed it all. Cry, scream, be angry, sad...it's all normal for what is happening. You've come a long way in the last year, and I hope you see that. You're an amazing mom. You're a wonderful human. You're always in my prayers. ❤
This. And you’re showing your kids an example of dignity, perseverance and resilience. As someone who has been there, trust me, your kids see all of that.
Julie, you are stronger than you know and are setting an amazing example for your kids of love and resilience ❤ I’ve been there and know it will get better, even if you can’t see it yet. Hang in there and know we love and support you so very much ❤❤
Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey! Yes, it was not in the plan, but they say God only hands you what he knows you can handle! Does it suck....YES! You are a great mom and a great human! You are a ROCK STAR! Sending good vibes and prayers to you all!❤
I want to get on a plane and come give you the biggest HUG- I'm crying. Julie, you ARE enough, there is nothing more you could've done. Maybe you could get in a counseling session before mediation, and,once it's happening, speak as you've spoken here, right from your heart. I am sending many prayers of love and support, I wish I could do something more to comfort you and the children💔 You have many chapters yet to write, and I know Heavenly Father has blessings ahead for you and those precious jewels.🙏
I am over here sobbing! I’m so sorry Julie! I know I don’t know you but watching this play out has been devastating! The anger and frustration I feel toward him for choosing fame over his family is off the charts! You have handled this with such Grace and the kids are so incredibly blessed to have you! ❤
So sad to see he walked away from his kids you are strong and will through this he is missing out on all the great moments of their lives he owe it them to send you support for their up bringing
Thank you for being so open and honest, but i have only ever found you to be open and honest. You are an amazing mother and your children are thriving under your care. YOu are allowed to mourn, you are allowed to be angry, you are allowed to be you. Never let anyone make you feel like you aren't you. xx.
Unfortunately in my daughters case he refuses to pay those obligations. She has lost so much money. He is trying to change the rulings to almost nothing. My daughter is 100% carrying the load of it all on her own. He has abandoned his children and her for his cheating ways. It is disgusting how he hides his money under the table and it can’t be touched. I pray Julie that this ends differently for you. You deserve the best and so do your children. Praying for you to get through the mediation and any other court proceedings and come out on top. You blow me away with your strength and positive outlook. I can’t imagine any father just up and abandoning his family. It happens far to often. (((((Hugs))))))
Praying for you and the babies. My circumstances were a little bit different, but I went through something similar as you. I've come out on the other side and things get better. I know people probably don't want to hear that when they're going through something hard like this. But it does get better. Sending my Love...
Julie I pray for you to find peace however that looks for you ❤ your a wonderful mom don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise If I could reach threw this screen and give u a giant hug sweet Julie ❤❤❤
This makes me so sad. So unfair and awful what he is doing to you and your children so selfish. I admire how graceful and strong you are. Your kids are so lucky to have you as their mother!!
Please believe it’s not anything you have done. Or didn’t do. You are enough, you always have been! It’s his character, not yours. I’ve gone through the exact same thing, only my children are adults. He chose another woman to be with, and walked away from his family. For myself, and my situation, him walking away, saved me. I am two years out since he left me. I am doing so much better, and so are my children and grandchildren. It will be hard, but you will be okay! My prayers are with you. Make sure you get what you deserve. You and your children come first. Fight for what you know you need. Don’t back down. I didn’t fight, I wanted to have spousal support and he refused to pay that. His plan was to retire and not have any responsibilities so he could ride into the sunset with her. He would have taken it to court if I had pushed for the support. I just wanted it all to be done. I gave in. Fight for what you want and need. You truly deserve it. It does get better, I promise! I stand by you, and will keep you and your family in my prayers. May the Savior continue to be by your side! If I did not have the gospel and my faith, I honestly don’t know how I would have got through it. Stand strong, you got this!! 💛 Janell Burke-Not Raber I went back to my maiden name, but I don’t know how to change it on this.
Julie you are a beautiful woman and a wonderful Mother. I know it's painful to have those we love hurt us. I know one day you will meet a very nice man that treats you like a queen. You deserve it! I would just focus on the kids because they are growing fast and you can take this time to enjoy every minute you have with them and they with you. I am sending you healing hugs. May God bless you and your family.
Julie your such an amazing mother to your kids and you are a wonderful person. Alex chose his demons and chose to leave his beautiful family. Stay strong through all this legal stuff. Your kids deserve the best of you and that's what they get. I'm so proud of you the kids big accomplishments and the smiles and joy you all still show. I love you and your kids!!!!
Oh Julie I love you. I'm so sorry you are going through all this. I'm praying for you to have the answers you need going through mediation. Love you friend.
I have been praying for you and your kids. Please don't take the blame for what he chose to do. You are a truly amazing woman with a heart for others. I don't want to sound like a know it all. But I was in a really dark place and I started journaling my feelings and it really helped me. I wish I could give you a big hug .
Gosh I’m so sorry Julie. My prayers are with you and your precious family. Here’s hoping that this next chapter is filled with love, faith, and new beginnings 💕
My dad left our family 15 years ago. I’m 45 and I still don’t understand how he cld just leave everything behind. I guess it’s so easy for a person like that sadly. It’s like a switch that turns off. I spent years trying to figure out what I did wrong. Then, I have spent the last many years trying to help keep what we have left of a family together and help my mom through this. After all, she spent 40+ years with someone who didn’t feel the same. I can’t imagine how your poor kids feel being so young. I’m so sorry u r all going through this!!! Hugs and support from me!!!!’
Julie, you have purpose, you have 8 beautiful children that have purpose. Love should never hurt. You and your family are on a new journey that doesn’t include Alex. The Lord is your navigator, and HE will lead you. Know your worth, don’t let misguided people determine it for you. It’s okay to cry and be mad for a minute, but after that, it’s time to pick yourself up, shake loose the dirt, and live the life GOD has made for you. Sending you love and hugs.
Whatever happens just remember God has you in his hands and will provide for you. You are an incredible woman and you will make it through this. When your family is grown you will look back at what you learned and what they learned. Teach them about the generational things that need changing so they will understand and know what not to do with their lives and families when they have them. I know it’s hard but you all will be ok because God is with you.
Julie, my heart goes out to you. I think you’re a remarkable mother. You’ve always been enough and you always will. You’ve got this and you’re in my prayers. Please have legal counsel so you can get what you need. Be brave ❤
I love you Julie! You have been a supportive wife from the start and have spent MANY days alone well before this all hit the fan. 2020/Covid really did mess with so many people health wise, mental, emotional etc. my heart wanted Alex to figure it out and see what he’s missing. I’m so sad that it didn’t! This was not you, you don’t have any reason to feel embarrassed! I remember you wanting him having a new car, i remember you getting him is Nigerian food, you looking so hard to find his dad! YOU did SO much. I pray he finds his way. You don’t deserve any of this and neither do your kids. Hang in there girl!! You have so many of us cheering you on and praying for you and the kids❤❤
This brings back so much of my history. My heart aches for you and your kiddos. Breaking up families is a powerful tool of the adversary. You are a warrior and your kiddos are so blessed to have you leading them through this. My Heavenly Father continue to guide, bless, and protect you 💜
One thing that really helped me during mediation 9 months ago (after my husband had suddenly heartbreakingly announced, similar to yours, that he was leaving), was having been counseled to remember that because I am the parent caring more about our children’s well being and the one more wisely/sacrificially providing for them, it would be best for all possible resources to be granted to me in the divorce-since I will most thoughtfully use them for the benefit of the children. I was reminded that of the two of us, I am the spouse seeking God’s direction in taking care of our family, so I will best be guided in using any available funds and benefits to care for all of us (including him!), and especially the children. Recognizing this helped me feel better about asking for and accepting more, rather than less, in our divorce mediation. The wisdom of that has been very evident in the time since our divorce was finalized. God knows better than either of us how to best care for His children. ❤
Julie, keep your head up and be strong through this. I know that you can do this. I am so angry that he could do this to you and your children. How on earth could he leave you with eight children to raise? I feel that he is a coward. So many families are torn apart for selfishness. I pray for your healing. 🙏🏿🙏🏿
I hope he relinquishes all custody and you get a big payout and can live without him in your life. Someone else will come along to meet your needs and cherish your family
Everyone has moments that they feel like we are knocked down for the count, It's how you get up and move on. Keep moving! If you think of your life as a book with many chapters, it's the ones who's chapter that are closed which can be more difficult to deal with. God has his reasons for having that chapter close, because he sees ahead of us. He sees what harm emotionally, physically would happen if they stayed. You will be alright, your children will be alright. Just keep moving forward. Some days will be more difficult than other days, take one step at a time. Some time in the future you can look back and see how far you have come. You are a great mother/father and you are doing right by your children and it shows in their smiles. Just do your best because your best is enough! I wish nothing but the best for you and your family.
So sorry Julie. I met Alex a long time ago when he spoke at a school my son was attending. I remember when you got engaged. I believe that the Savior will be right there with you. You are an amazing person and I wish you comfort and peace through this difficult journey.
I would never thought of Alex doing what he did. I don't understand how he could just leave his kids!?! I'm so sorry what he did to you and the kids. Is he not going to have nothing more to do with the kids ? You did no wrong .
@@mustlovedogs5569big deal. Alex was always a pathetic lazy person anyway. He only enjoyed his own ego, never helped Julie with the kids, and obviously constantly hit Julie up for sex. I guarantee that he will move onto someone else.
Prayers for you Julie as you continue this journey of sadness and just know you are a strong with the strength of true love for your precious blessings your beautiful children.
You…have been there for your beautiful and amazing children. Good times and bad, you stayed strong. You wiped their tears and hugged to ease the pain. You are an amazing mom. Hang in there and keep praying.
Julie, my heart aches for you. I only recently found out what happened , because exactly 6 weeks before you, my husband said the very same thing to me, and walked away. I wish I had words of encouragement. I wish I could give you advice that would help. I wish I could give you a hug. Just know how many of us are here because we love you. You are an incredible human being, and more importantly an amazing mother. My prayers and love are with you. ❤❤❤
Julie, you are a good person, and I'm so sorry that you've had to go through all of this you've been strong for your kids and for yourself as well. As I heard your words of how you felt, tears filled my eyes so much for you and your kids. God has a plan for all of us. Your faith and God has brought you through all of this and gave you the strength. Just be yoursel. You've been such a wonderful mother and support to your kids. Love to you and the kids.
Hang in there. I’ve been in your shoes. I went back to nursing school and got my degree at 38. Took in 8 boys that needed a home as well as raised my 2. Honestly the greatest gift of my life. God just had a different plan for you. Hugs❤❤❤
I am glad you don't have to be in the same room. It would be even harder that way. Know what you want/need for your kids and go for that. Continue being prayerful. Ask God what to be adamant about. Don't be embarrassed or ashamed. Sometimes people just don't choose us. God chooses us everytime. He is there. Prayer warrior for you all, Julie!
Dearest child, you were created to be a mom and you are doing a fabulous job. Our Lord never promised us easy but he does promise to be by our side every step of the way. Your children take care of each other and you are very blessed to have them try to take care of you. Be honest in mediation because you are the injured party. If you have a good attorney, let him or her lead, they are there to protect you from these feelings of failure that you are having. You did nothing wrong, that is hard to believe, but he is the one who made the decision to walk away and above all else, you are loved.
I sure hope I can meet you and your lovely family someday, I live I Saint George right now but could be moving to SLC next year. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers ❤🙏🏻❤️🙏🏾
Your a wonderful Woman, let him walk if he doesn’t want to be where you and your kids are. Your very in touch with your feelings,therefore you will Heal and how gracious you are. You’re going to be just fine Girl.
my heart breaks for you and you children. i dont know you. i dont know what its like to be in your position. but I'm lds as well, sharing the same faith. i lost my micropremie daughter in march this year born at 24 weeks. she lived for 2 weeks. so im still grieving. im doing better but i have my days. so i csn understand somewhat of the loss. i understand its different situations but the pain of losing someone you love so eternally is devastating. I've known about you and alex a few years ago on social media and always thought your family was beautiful and amazing. coming across your videos has brought tears to my eyes. my heart aches for you so much, esp for those beautiful children you have created together ❤️ I'm angry at alex for the choices he made and actions he chose to hurt you all. but know you are an amazing woman. you are a wonderful mother to those sweet babies! you are enough and you are worth it. you'll be in my prayers, may you be blessed by Heavenly Father's grace for comfort, peace, and strength. love is surrounded all around you! sweet hugs from Texas 🩵
You have handled everything with so much strength and so much grace you should applaud yourself for that. I have never been through what you have but I know how the kids must be feeling. Let him know what his destruction has done to you and the kids and the pain the kids are going through. Fathers that have the need to walk on on their kids only think of one person.. them. And tell them what you have been going through. Trauma or not it’s no excuse… especially when you have a wife and children who have loved you good or bad.. there were things he could have done to help him like you’ve done for your kids and paid for counselling and therapy
Julie I am so sorry you are going through this. And I am even more sorry your kids are going through it. I will keep you all in my prayers. But I know you have this!!!
I really was paying attention to the meal prep which looked amazing. And I was watching the little things you do as a family, like free slushies. I used to do little things like that. I would take my rolling cooler, my girls (I have 9) and we would walk down to the sandwich shop and get sandwiches for everyone. On the way back we would stop at the little neighborhood park that had one picnic table and we would have a picnic. I had packed drinks and napkins and wet wipes and all the things needed to dispose of our trash responsibly. Then the girls could just spend the next hour playing on all the park toys. Other times I would gather all of our free coupons and head out for a slice of free pizza, game of bowling, ice cream cone.. we drove from place to place making an afternoon of it. You said you tried to be everything he wanted you to be. That stopped me dead in my tracks. I mourn for the woman you might have been, for the mom you might have been, for the individual you might have been. I still wear my wedding ring because in my heart, I am still married. Maybe we can walk through the aloneness together and find ourselves and how amazing we are in the face of Jesus. Maybe we can see how incredible we have always been.
Momma's hand there to help her kids when they need it getting their slurpies and in life. You are still an awesome family. I am praying for you Julie. You are being watched over. I understand all those feels you have. I still at times feel them. In my case I didn't love or respect my ex. husband anymore. I was forced to make a decision but it was the right one.
I just don't get how its so easy for Dad to walk out on he's children and have no care in world. My daughter ex husband put her through abuse all the above. I was so glad he finally left. My grandchildren were 3 4 7 and now are 6 7 10 and my daughter meant man that had 3 children and treats her like queen and her children. My heart is so happy. 💓 There real dad has nothing to do with he's children or he's family so sad. Hopefully you can find true love for u and your children, u deserve it. Have beautiful family and it takes a strong women to do it by herself. Love you 😍 keep your head high Beautiful ❤
you have a wonderful family you are a very strong person inside and out you are loved beyond what you think and you are stronger then what u know things will get better if u want to know what on the other side of the rainbow u have to first see the rain trust me it will all be worth it love you and your beautiful kids gods got y’all 💗💗💗💗💗
As the song goes, "Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end." I hope and pray that your new beginning will be full of joy and healing for you and your family. I feel for you and with you. Alex was my friend and I miss him too. Also, I know what it's like for your family to be ripped apart from divorce.
I recommend like others to find your anger while going through this and going through any contact with him. You have to remember all the times his choice negatively impacted your life and your children's lives. Sometimes we love the wrong people. He has proven he is the wrong person and a poison for your family.
I can tell you what will keep you from crying during mediation. It might sound cold, but it will work. When you sit down for that Zoom call, dig deep inside and remember the way you felt on Father's Day when India was crying her heart out at church because her dad wasn't there. Remember how your heart breaks everytime little Ari looks at you with tears in his eyes, wondering why his dad left. Remember how you feel every single time one of your beloved children cries because they miss him and don't understand why he did what he did. Remember how you felt when you considered selling your ring for milk and diaper money. Remember all the anger, fear, confusion and helplessness you and your children have had to face due to the choices of another, and let the mother lion that is within you come out. You don't have to yell or be nasty, you can be the sweet, wonderful Julie we have all come to know and love...but you don't have to get run over or agree to anything you don't want during mediation. I was divorced years ago (basically abandoned) and went through a lot of what you're going through. My ex knew I cared deeply for him and he used my love for him to get everything he asked for during mediation. If I had gone in like a lioness, I truly believe it would have turned out far different than it did. My ex ended up bailing on our kids within a year anyway, and Heavenly Father sent the most wonderful, loving, Spirit filled man into our lives 18 months later! He loved my children before he loved me! 6 months after we married he adopted them, and together we adopted one daughter in 2010. No matter what happiness looks like to you and your children, I promise you it's waiting just around the corner! You can do mediation...you can do anything because you are "THE MOMINATOR!" You are protecting your cubs and that is what their father and the lawyers need to see. Your tears will flow freely after all is said and done...and you will have zero regrets...no looking back and thinking of things you could have said or done differently. Praying for you always. YOU'VE GOT THIS!!!!
I’m sorry you had to go through the same thing but you are an excellent source for Julie. ❤️
Well said
Wonderfully said

Wow this made me cry... go Julie... def do this don't give up everything in mediation... you got this!
Honestly I saw through Alex many years ago. I often caught him switching his whole persona as soon as he spotted he was on camera. I thought he was well and truly faking the doting dad and husband on many occasions. And lets be real Julie....how many other women would allow there husband to travel all the time chasing their dream like you did. He acted like a man in his 20's with no responsibility while you were at home taking care of 8 children. The is no doubt that you can and do deserve so much better ❤
Yep, I think many of us did. I said the same thing. It was as clear as glass who he really was 😑
I kind of saw through him as well …. It can’t be good when a man is away the majority of the time and not present with his wife and family. The nature of the beast you can blame it on generational stuff or whatever has come down the pike and maybe all of that has seriously contributed but Real men who love the Lord do not walk out on their families! Please keep us posted with the outcome of the mediation and you my dear and your lovely children and Alex will continue to be in my prayers
🙏🏽🫶🏽🙏🏽
I hate what he has done to his children. He will answer to the man upstairs oneday.
There's absolutely nothing right about a father walking away but you've handled it so graciously ❤..
I !like that through it all she never badmouthed alex
Mediation Was a joke for us, we did it twice and got absolutely no where best way to get through, it is to get mad, get angry. I don't know what happened in your case, but.
I know it's hard. Try to agree on as much stuff as you can. So it doesn't have to go into the courts. Because the courts will screw you over big time.
@@stacylein2448 you mean why they're divorcing? Alex was abandoned by his parents and continued cycle with his own kids
So sad! My heart hurts for Julie and the kids.
Julie your doing a great job and the kids are awesome. Stay true to you. It’ll get better Through Heavenly Father. 🥰❤️🙏🏼
My heart aches for you and the kids and just pray that God sees you through this very difficult time it is so like a death in the family . You are an amazing mother !!! You have always shown grace and love to Alex. Sending you hugs and prayers my friend
When you said, “I loved you, Alex.” I LOST IT! 😭😭 absolutely lost it. The pain that others’ agency causes is so unfair! We saw how supportive you were! How determined you were for him to succeed in his career that took him away from his family so much. And we allllll thought that this generational trauma was going to end with him. And here he is, spreading it to his kids. But YOU will break it, Julie. You and your family will.
I did too😢
Be strong and fight for what you deserve. Don't be walked over in mediation. You are not the one who chose this. You have been so accommodating and kind that I worry you will just say..give him whatever he wants.
There’s nothing more beautiful than true authentic transparency and pure sharing of the heart Julie. This world is full of scripted, drama addicts, phonies. That’s definitely not you. God bless you abundantly and hold you in His loving arms. Jesus is with every step of the way. He loves you so much and we love you. He heals the broken-hearted and binds of their wounds 🙏🏼✝️🤍
I’m nine years further down the same journey as you, it does get better, I promise.
Hold your head high it’s not your fault, it can only work when you both work together he didn’t want that and that’s on him not you.
I often think about how could Alex be so selfish to do what he has to you and the kids. God be with you and your children. Love you guys.
You were ALWAYS his number one cheerleader. Always plugging his music, concerts etc on your channel. It’s sad that you didn’t get the same in return. I hope you and your kids hearts heal soon ❤
My heart is breaking for you. Just know that you did everything you could to make it work, but you were right when you said that you can’t control what others choose to do. That which doesn’t kill us makes us stronger! Concentrate on the important things that truly matter, you and the kids. Some day they will look back and know that their mother loved them beyond all reason and did everything she could for them! Much love and prayers are being sent your way!
Do NOT cave! Get what you want! He owes you and the children support. Being nice and sweet and giving in will gain you absolutely nothing. He will take every advantage he can get, and he will do all he can to manipulate you!!!
You know that you did everything you possibly could and this will bring you peace later on, because you put it all on the table! You are so amazing!❤
My heart continues to break for you and your children. Hang in there Julie. God bless all of you. 🙏❤️
You are an excellent mom to your children. I love to see how much time you spend with them. They are very blessed to have you. Your husband left a beautiful family who loves him. Just know during your mediation make sure you get child support for your children and alimony for yourself. I hope you’ve been talking with a lawyer. Make sure you get all that you can get. After all he is the one who left. God bless you and your beautiful children.
I agree, he needs to support the children he created and their mother who he left holding the bag. He chose to walk away, now he needs to support all.
I don’t believe he will uphold his responsibilities. He’s been thinking only of himself for YEARS! Way before he actually left. Julie has always been alone in this relationship.
Wow Julie❤ That was an amazing video! Thank you for opening up to all of us. My heart ached with you as you spoke 😭 & I know first hand what you said was all true 🥹Watching the dogs run free was so symbolic ❤Much Love sent your way ❤❤ You Got This 👊🏻
Julie, you are a beautiful person, both inside and out. You are very special. There is going to be so much happiness in your future. Good things will come to you. God has great things in store for you. Stay strong - you are a warrior and a shining star.
This is not your fault at all and you deserve WAY WAY better
❤I’m crying!! I’m mad at him too! Hurt and confused!! 😢You’re the Best mom!!!
When you go Mama Bear it is not about you it is about supporting his children. Religious beliefs and commitment sometimes makes us feel like we didn't try but I see you trying not quitting loving all the kiddos 100%. Keep your head on top of the conversation during the mediation this is one time you Don want to walk away saying I should have ... could have be the voice your children don't have. The Boyd are all going to to go through growth spurts and will be eating like never before (prob . The girls too I only had 1 boy) stay strong friend these next Few chapters are going to be hard but pen and paper ready I say go high way high and don't back down. Cost of living etc...cost alot more to feed and clothe the children vs 1 man 😊
Glow up baby and don't look back.
This is the year you can finally focus on you and your children, see it as a blessing honey.
You're gorgeous, you're smart, and you're still young and in your prime. Your heart will eventually heal, replace that space in your heart you had for him with yourself and the people that deserve that space.
Stay strong warrior princess! ❤️💪🏻
My heart breaks for you and the children. Make sure that he supports all of you financially for sure. You keep your chin up. You and the children deserve the best. You're a wonderful mom and your children are amazing too! We love you and your family, Bill and Mable too! ❤️💚💜💙🧡💛💙💜💖🐶🐕
I don’t think he even has the means to support them all. He’s no father in any sense of the word. It’s gross.
U got this Julie! Dont back down during mediation, be a momma bear and get what you want. U deserve child support. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Oh Julie, sweet girl❤ There was absolutely nothing wrong with what you said. It came from your heart, I felt it. I've said it before and will say it again... I will never understand him. I happened to come across a video of him proposing to you and I sobbed... I know though, that even if you had known then what you know now you still wouldnt of done anything differently because if you had you wouldnt have your little warriors that have been right there by your side... I hope that one day Alex see's the light and that at that point it's not too late...not for you or for the kids. I see your hurt, I see the hurt in your babies, some more than other's...Ari and India in particular. I'm going to keep praying and keep loving your family and lifting you up in positivity. Stay strong mama, this too shall pass my friend❤❤❤
I have cried so many times for you! My heart just hurts for you and your family. I will say you are amazing, I have never heard you speak of him negatively or put him in a bad light. It's so nice to see someone not drag someone through the mud. Prayers for you and your family.
Please, please, please ask for more than you want and then you have room to compromise. You are a strong woman, you can do this
Thank you carol!
While it’s hard to go through things publicly, most women have to go through this quietly and privately. They feel like they’re alone, because no one shares their grief. So when you share how you feel, however hard it is, it helps other women feel like they’re not alone. Thank you.
Julie you keep being you and the Heavenly Father is with you 😊❤
Please whatever happens, please don't make the kids sit in front of the judge of who they want to live with. That is what happened in my family and it tore us kids apart. I hope that he has to pay a butt load of child support and has to cough up alimony since you were essentially a stay at home mom, raising the kids! Please also try to keep the kids together, not plot them apart, I if possible.
You are doing a great job, your kids seem happy for the most part. Prayers to you and the kids that you get through this rough patch and only get stronger, after all he is the one missing out!
Mable is so flipping adorable running in the park. Bill listens so well. ❤ I have to agree about Covid. So many people went through changes whether good or bad. I think the people who made drastic decisions did so out of fear of the unknown and the future. Lots of people decided it was their chance to reach for the stars, live out their dreams, and take a leap of faith. A lot of those people are worse off now and regretting their decisons. You stayed grounded. You kept a level head and didn't go off the deep end. Do NOT ever think you did anything to push him out the door. You have NOTHING to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. His making his decision public was a ridiculous, impulsive move, and that's on him. People don't think less of you because of it. It's okay to have all the feelings you do. You need to process all of it and it doesn't happen within a specific time frame. Like I mentioned a while back, there's a grieving process involved; let yourself go through it. You will know when you've processed it all. Cry, scream, be angry, sad...it's all normal for what is happening. You've come a long way in the last year, and I hope you see that. You're an amazing mom. You're a wonderful human. You're always in my prayers. ❤
This. And you’re showing your kids an example of dignity, perseverance and resilience. As someone who has been there, trust me, your kids see all of that.
Julie, you are stronger than you know and are setting an amazing example for your kids of love and resilience ❤ I’ve been there and know it will get better, even if you can’t see it yet. Hang in there and know we love and support you so very much ❤❤
Julie you are strong and an amazing mother to your children. Sending you big hugs❤❤❤
Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey! Yes, it was not in the plan, but they say God only hands you what he knows you can handle! Does it suck....YES! You are a great mom and a great human! You are a ROCK STAR! Sending good vibes and prayers to you all!❤
Julie you are a beautiful woman and you deserve the best of everything 😊❤
I want to get on a plane and come give you the biggest HUG- I'm crying. Julie, you ARE enough, there is nothing more you could've done. Maybe you could get in a counseling session before mediation, and,once it's happening, speak as you've spoken here, right from your heart. I am sending many prayers of love and support, I wish I could do something more to comfort you and the children💔 You have many chapters yet to write, and I know Heavenly Father has blessings ahead for you and those precious jewels.🙏
Luckily I had a therapy session the morning after! I needed it so bad.
I am over here sobbing! I’m so sorry Julie! I know I don’t know you but watching this play out has been devastating! The anger and frustration I feel toward him for choosing fame over his family is off the charts! You have handled this with such Grace and the kids are so incredibly blessed to have you! ❤
So sad to see he walked away from his kids you are strong and will through this he is missing out on all the great moments of their lives he owe it them to send you support for their up bringing
Thank you for being so open and honest, but i have only ever found you to be open and honest. You are an amazing mother and your children are thriving under your care. YOu are allowed to mourn, you are allowed to be angry, you are allowed to be you. Never let anyone make you feel like you aren't you. xx.
Praying for strength and wisdom for you next week. 🙏🙏
Prayers to you 🙏 ❤️ and the kiddos! That's goes in your favor and he has to give you alimony and child support to take care of the kids.
Unfortunately in my daughters case he refuses to pay those obligations. She has lost so much money. He is trying to change the rulings to almost nothing. My daughter is 100% carrying the load of it all on her own. He has abandoned his children and her for his cheating ways. It is disgusting how he hides his money under the table and it can’t be touched. I pray Julie that this ends differently for you. You deserve the best and so do your children. Praying for you to get through the mediation and any other court proceedings and come out on top. You blow me away with your strength and positive outlook. I can’t imagine any father just up and abandoning his family. It happens far to often. (((((Hugs))))))
Praying for you and the babies. My circumstances were a little bit different, but I went through something similar as you. I've come out on the other side and things get better. I know people probably don't want to hear that when they're going through something hard like this. But it does get better. Sending my Love...
I’m so so sorry , hold your head up high , be strong , he’s the one who is gonna loose out 💕
Julie I pray for you to find peace however that looks for you ❤ your a wonderful mom don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise If I could reach threw this screen and give u a giant hug sweet Julie ❤❤❤
This makes me so sad. So unfair and awful what he is doing to you and your children so selfish. I admire how graceful and strong you are. Your kids are so lucky to have you as their mother!!
Please believe it’s not anything you have done. Or didn’t do. You are enough, you always have been! It’s his character, not yours. I’ve gone through the exact same thing, only my children are adults. He chose another woman to be with, and walked away from his family. For myself, and my situation, him walking away, saved me. I am two years out since he left me. I am doing so much better, and so are my children and grandchildren. It will be hard, but you will be okay! My prayers are with you. Make sure you get what you deserve. You and your children come first. Fight for what you know you need. Don’t back down. I didn’t fight, I wanted to have spousal support and he refused to pay that. His plan was to retire and not have any responsibilities so he could ride into the sunset with her. He would have taken it to court if I had pushed for the support. I just wanted it all to be done. I gave in. Fight for what you want and need. You truly deserve it. It does get better, I promise! I stand by you, and will keep you and your family in my prayers. May the Savior continue to be by your side! If I did not have the gospel and my faith, I honestly don’t know how I would have got through it. Stand strong, you got this!! 💛

I went back to my maiden name, but I don’t know how to change it on this.
Julie you are a beautiful woman and a wonderful Mother. I know it's painful to have those we love hurt us. I know one day you will meet a very nice man that treats you like a queen. You deserve it! I would just focus on the kids because they are growing fast and you can take this time to enjoy every minute you have with them and they with you. I am sending you healing hugs. May God bless you and your family.
Julie, I appreciate this you showed your heart. If you ever need help with teaching or helping the kiddos being great let me kmow❤ praying for you
Julie your such an amazing mother to your kids and you are a wonderful person. Alex chose his demons and chose to leave his beautiful family. Stay strong through all this legal stuff. Your kids deserve the best of you and that's what they get. I'm so proud of you the kids big accomplishments and the smiles and joy you all still show. I love you and your kids!!!!
Oh Julie I love you. I'm so sorry you are going through all this. I'm praying for you to have the answers you need going through mediation. Love you friend.
I have been praying for you and your kids. Please don't take the blame for what he chose to do. You are a truly amazing woman with a heart for others. I don't want to sound like a know it all. But I was in a really dark place and I started journaling my feelings and it really helped me. I wish I could give you a big hug .
Bless your heart Julie! We’ll be praying for you and your family! You are a beautiful woman and I admire your determination.
Gosh I’m so sorry Julie. My prayers are with you and your precious family. Here’s hoping that this next chapter is filled with love, faith, and new beginnings 💕
My dad left our family 15 years ago. I’m 45 and I still don’t understand how he cld just leave everything behind. I guess it’s so easy for a person like that sadly. It’s like a switch that turns off. I spent years trying to figure out what I did wrong. Then, I have spent the last many years trying to help keep what we have left of a family together and help my mom through this. After all, she spent 40+ years with someone who didn’t feel the same. I can’t imagine how your poor kids feel being so young. I’m so sorry u r all going through this!!! Hugs and support from me!!!!’
Julie, you have purpose, you have 8 beautiful children that have purpose. Love should never hurt. You and your family are on a new journey that doesn’t include Alex. The Lord is your navigator, and HE will lead you. Know your worth, don’t let misguided people determine it for you. It’s okay to cry and be mad for a minute, but after that, it’s time to pick yourself up, shake loose the dirt, and live the life GOD has made for you. Sending you love and hugs.
Whatever happens just remember God has you in his hands and will provide for you. You are an incredible woman and you will make it through this. When your family is grown you will look back at what you learned and what they learned. Teach them about the generational things that need changing so they will understand and know what not to do with their lives and families when they have them. I know it’s hard but you all will be ok because God is with you.
Julie, my heart goes out to you. I think you’re a remarkable mother. You’ve always been enough and you always will. You’ve got this and you’re in my prayers. Please have legal counsel so you can get what you need. Be brave ❤
I love you Julie! You have been a supportive wife from the start and have spent MANY days alone well before this all hit the fan. 2020/Covid really did mess with so many people health wise, mental, emotional etc. my heart wanted Alex to figure it out and see what he’s missing. I’m so sad that it didn’t! This was not you, you don’t have any reason to feel embarrassed! I remember you wanting him having a new car, i remember you getting him is Nigerian food, you looking so hard to find his dad! YOU did SO much. I pray he finds his way. You don’t deserve any of this and neither do your kids. Hang in there girl!! You have so many of us cheering you on and praying for you and the kids❤❤
This brings back so much of my history. My heart aches for you and your kiddos. Breaking up families is a powerful tool of the adversary. You are a warrior and your kiddos are so blessed to have you leading them through this. My Heavenly Father continue to guide, bless, and protect you 💜
Thoughts and prayers with you and your family. ❤
One thing that really helped me during mediation 9 months ago (after my husband had suddenly heartbreakingly announced, similar to yours, that he was leaving), was having been counseled to remember that because I am the parent caring more about our children’s well being and the one more wisely/sacrificially providing for them, it would be best for all possible resources to be granted to me in the divorce-since I will most thoughtfully use them for the benefit of the children. I was reminded that of the two of us, I am the spouse seeking God’s direction in taking care of our family, so I will best be guided in using any available funds and benefits to care for all of us (including him!), and especially the children. Recognizing this helped me feel better about asking for and accepting more, rather than less, in our divorce mediation. The wisdom of that has been very evident in the time since our divorce was finalized. God knows better than either of us how to best care for His children. ❤
Julie, keep your head up and be strong through this. I know that you can do this. I am so angry that he could do this to you and your children. How on earth could he leave you with eight children to raise? I feel that he is a coward. So many families are torn apart for selfishness. I pray for your healing. 🙏🏿🙏🏿
I hope he relinquishes all custody and you get a big payout and can live without him in your life. Someone else will come along to meet your needs and cherish your family
Hang In there! You are such strong wonderful person and a fantastic mom.
Everyone has moments that they feel like we are knocked down for the count, It's how you get up and move on. Keep moving! If you think of your life as a book with many chapters, it's the ones who's chapter that are closed which can be more difficult to deal with. God has his reasons for having that chapter close, because he sees ahead of us. He sees what harm emotionally, physically would happen if they stayed. You will be alright, your children will be alright. Just keep moving forward. Some days will be more difficult than other days, take one step at a time. Some time in the future you can look back and see how far you have come. You are a great mother/father and you are doing right by your children and it shows in their smiles. Just do your best because your best is enough! I wish nothing but the best for you and your family.
So sorry Julie. I met Alex a long time ago when he spoke at a school my son was attending. I remember when you got engaged. I believe that the Savior will be right there with you. You are an amazing person and I wish you comfort and peace through this difficult journey.
prayng for you and the kiddos. love you guys.
You are such a inspiration to everyone who has or is going through this right now
I’m so sorry for your heartache praying for you and your children I know it’s hard right now but you’ll be happy again love you guys
❤❤❤🙏🏽
I would never thought of Alex doing what he did. I don't understand how he could just leave his kids!?! I'm so sorry what he did to you and the kids. Is he not going to have nothing more to do with the kids ? You did no wrong .
He went to Vegas a lot. The lure of sex and drugs and alcohol and prostitution there is strong
@@mustlovedogs5569big deal. Alex was always a pathetic lazy person anyway. He only enjoyed his own ego, never helped Julie with the kids, and obviously constantly hit Julie up for sex. I guarantee that he will move onto someone else.
Prayers for you Julie as you continue this journey of sadness and just know you are a strong with the strength of true love for your precious blessings your beautiful children.
You…have been there for your beautiful and amazing children. Good times and bad, you stayed strong. You wiped their tears and hugged to ease the pain. You are an amazing mom. Hang in there and keep praying.
Julie, my heart aches for you. I only recently found out what happened , because exactly 6 weeks before you, my husband said the very same thing to me, and walked away. I wish I had words of encouragement. I wish I could give you advice that would help. I wish I could give you a hug. Just know how many of us are here because we love you. You are an incredible human being, and more importantly an amazing mother. My prayers and love are with you. ❤❤❤
Julie, you are a good person, and I'm so sorry that you've had to go through all of this
you've been strong for your kids and for yourself as well. As I heard your words of how you felt, tears filled my eyes so much for you and your kids.
God has a plan for all of us. Your faith and God has brought you through all of this and gave you the strength. Just be yoursel. You've been such a wonderful mother and support to your kids. Love to you and the kids.
Love to you and your family.
I love that you always take the high road even when it hurts
Hang in there. I’ve been in your shoes. I went back to nursing school and got my degree at 38. Took in 8 boys that needed a home as well as raised my 2. Honestly the greatest gift of my life. God just had a different plan for you. Hugs❤❤❤
I applaud your strength your family is so sweet
Prayers ❤
Alex needs to help financially pay to help with kids.
Yep all of them for 18 years and provide a house and living money to keep the standards that they were used to living at
I am glad you don't have to be in the same room. It would be even harder that way. Know what you want/need for your kids and go for that. Continue being prayerful. Ask God what to be adamant about. Don't be embarrassed or ashamed. Sometimes people just don't choose us. God chooses us everytime. He is there. Prayer warrior for you all, Julie!
Dearest child, you were created to be a mom and you are doing a fabulous job. Our Lord never promised us easy but he does promise to be by our side every step of the way. Your children take care of each other and you are very blessed to have them try to take care of you.
Be honest in mediation because you are the injured party. If you have a good attorney, let him or her lead, they are there to protect you from these feelings of failure that you are having. You did nothing wrong, that is hard to believe, but he is the one who made the decision to walk away and above all else, you are loved.
I sure hope I can meet you and your lovely family someday, I live I Saint George right now but could be moving to SLC next year. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers ❤🙏🏻❤️🙏🏾
My heart is with you Julie🩵 Your an amazing woman! Sending you prayers of strength and hope 🙏
Your a wonderful Woman, let him walk if he doesn’t want to be where you and your kids are. Your very in touch with your feelings,therefore you will Heal and how gracious you are. You’re going to be just fine Girl.
my heart breaks for you and you children. i dont know you. i dont know what its like to be in your position. but I'm lds as well, sharing the same faith. i lost my micropremie daughter in march this year born at 24 weeks. she lived for 2 weeks. so im still grieving. im doing better but i have my days. so i csn understand somewhat of the loss. i understand its different situations but the pain of losing someone you love so eternally is devastating.
I've known about you and alex a few years ago on social media and always thought your family was beautiful and amazing. coming across your videos has brought tears to my eyes. my heart aches for you so much, esp for those beautiful children you have created together ❤️
I'm angry at alex for the choices he made and actions he chose to hurt you all.
but know you are an amazing woman. you are a wonderful mother to those sweet babies! you are enough and you are worth it. you'll be in my prayers, may you be blessed by Heavenly Father's grace for comfort, peace, and strength. love is surrounded all around you!
sweet hugs from Texas 🩵
It is 100% okay to cry and even scream. (Before the mediation of course). It just might get you through it and make you feel a little better. .
I’m so sorry you’ve had to and are going through this. I am sending my prayers to you.
You have handled everything with so much strength and so much grace you should applaud yourself for that. I have never been through what you have but I know how the kids must be feeling. Let him know what his destruction has done to you and the kids and the pain the kids are going through. Fathers that have the need to walk on on their kids only think of one person.. them. And tell them what you have been going through.
Trauma or not it’s no excuse… especially when you have a wife and children who have loved you good or bad.. there were things he could have done to help him like you’ve done for your kids and paid for counselling and therapy
Julie I am so sorry you are going through this. And I am even more sorry your kids are going through it. I will keep you all in my prayers. But I know you have this!!!
Julie you have to be who God made and wants you to be. Not for alex. He has his own demons to face.
I really was paying attention to the meal prep which looked amazing. And I was watching the little things you do as a family, like free slushies. I used to do little things like that. I would take my rolling cooler, my girls (I have 9) and we would walk down to the sandwich shop and get sandwiches for everyone. On the way back we would stop at the little neighborhood park that had one picnic table and we would have a picnic. I had packed drinks and napkins and wet wipes and all the things needed to dispose of our trash responsibly. Then the girls could just spend the next hour playing on all the park toys. Other times I would gather all of our free coupons and head out for a slice of free pizza, game of bowling, ice cream cone.. we drove from place to place making an afternoon of it.
You said you tried to be everything he wanted you to be. That stopped me dead in my tracks. I mourn for the woman you might have been, for the mom you might have been, for the individual you might have been. I still wear my wedding ring because in my heart, I am still married. Maybe we can walk through the aloneness together and find ourselves and how amazing we are in the face of Jesus. Maybe we can see how incredible we have always been.
You need to ensure that you get the support for the children, they deserve it.. xx
I’m so sorry this happened to you and your children! God bless you and keep you all safe! Trust Jesus!
Momma's hand there to help her kids when they need it getting their slurpies and in life. You are still an awesome family. I am praying for you Julie. You are being watched over. I understand all those feels you have. I still at times feel them. In my case I didn't love or respect my ex. husband anymore. I was forced to make a decision but it was the right one.
I just don't get how its so easy for Dad to walk out on he's children and have no care in world. My daughter ex husband put her through abuse all the above. I was so glad he finally left. My grandchildren were 3 4 7 and now are 6 7 10 and my daughter meant man that had 3 children and treats her like queen and her children. My heart is so happy. 💓 There real dad has nothing to do with he's children or he's family so sad. Hopefully you can find true love for u and your children, u deserve it. Have beautiful family and it takes a strong women to do it by herself. Love you 😍 keep your head high Beautiful ❤
you have a wonderful family you are a very strong person inside and out you are loved beyond what you think and you are stronger then what u know things will get better if u want to know what on the other side of the rainbow u have to first see the rain trust me it will all be worth it love you and your beautiful kids gods got y’all 💗💗💗💗💗
He was happy enough to make those kids but doesn’t want to be responsible for them. God will judge him on his day
Virtual hugs ❤
You deserve so so much better 😢
😢I'm so sorry you and your children have to live with this pain.
As the song goes, "Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end." I hope and pray that your new beginning will be full of joy and healing for you and your family. I feel for you and with you. Alex was my friend and I miss him too. Also, I know what it's like for your family to be ripped apart from divorce.
I recommend like others to find your anger while going through this and going through any contact with him. You have to remember all the times his choice negatively impacted your life and your children's lives. Sometimes we love the wrong people. He has proven he is the wrong person and a poison for your family.
