Today is my precious daughter's 13th birthday. Brings me back memories to the day I gave birth to her and having my ex by my side, feeling happy and contented with our first baby.
I feel really down knowing that I am not appreciated as the mother to his children when he decided to cheat on me.
Just want to know if any moms out there feel the same or differently from me. Thanks

Don't think of yourself as the mother of his children but as the mother to your own children. He has left you and your children. ........he is the loser, not you. You still have your children, he doesn't.

Yes, I know the feeling. I had to focus on my own life as well as the kids. I cater to myself all the time. I lost 25Ibs and I now look and feel great. I shop with my teenager. I stopped worrying about what he was doing. Once he noticed me not panicing about his wear abouts and what he was doing, the tables turned. Now he is wondering what and where I'm going. I sometimes just stopped in on a 10:00 movie and never answered his calls. He would leave messages and I would only answer for an emergency. Which never were. I told him when he stopped what he was doing, I would stop what I was doing, which was nothing. Pray and live your life for you and your kids.

What he feels shouldn't matter to you. What your daughter feels should though. Is she appreciative of your mothering? I'm sure she is and that is what is important, not some guy that's going to act like a sperm donor and leave you for another woman when he isn't 'in to it' anymore.
Focus on the important things in life, not the unimportant things.

Don't think like that. When he decided to cheat he wasn't thinking about your daughter. He was being selfish in his own mind. He probably wasn't even thinking about you for that matter. Just help your young teenager celebrate this once in a lifetime milestone and rejoice in the way you have raised her.

Some men are different. My hubby is very appreciated of me, he knows he would never find another women like me how does every thing for him. I'm not saying I'm great but I'm good to him as much as he is to me. He is a fab dad and does everything he can for the children. I'm sorry you feel like that hun. Least your children love you and care for you. Some men are strange and we will never understand them
