As I get deeper into my 40s and watch loss happen all around me, I am sometimes paralyzed by the fear of anything happening to me and my family subsequently “unblending” because I am not around to hold it together. Without me, there is no more 50/50 custody. It guts me to even think about my kids not sharing a home.
This is just one of the fears that keeps me up at night as the mom of two girls from two different marriages.
