Hey Jenn, me and my daughter’s dad got divorced when she was 2 years old. Now that she’s 8 let me tell you how our life looks like so far. Me and her dad talk every day, see each other almost every day. She still gets to hold both of our hands while walking to school on “back to school” days. We both got re-married, I had a baby and now his wife is also expecting. We now are a huge family. I always tell my daughter that me and her dad we’re like two different continents and she’s the bridge. No divorce is easy but when you set your priorities right, it works out just fine. Give it time and you’ll find your way. Wishing you the best ❤

Picking yourself when you start questioning what feels right; picking yourself when people want to bring you down; picking yourself when you have no one immediately available to comfort you. I am also in process of individuating through an intense relationship of enmeshment, and it's very confronting and challenging, but wow, is that growth so spectacular and beautiful. And we're not even on the other side. Cheers to you my dear for this new chapter and to navigating it with such grace.

My parents split when I was 12 and I really appreciated the way they did it and I tell them often as an adult how much I appreciate the way they went about it. They split up in March and only told us in June after the school year was over so it wouldn’t affect our grades or anything. Afterwards my mom moved out and from then on my parents would actively not speak badly about eachother in front of us, they never tried to make us pick sides and they were always good with eachother where they and their new partners could both be there for the important moments in our lives. I was sad at first but now I’m very happy that they made us the priority in all this, while some of my friends parents couldn’t be in the same room and they constantly had to choose and they were always in a chaotic environment, so mom and dad, thanks.

I'm only 23 and I have no kids but I just continue to have a stronger appreciation for my mother. And being able to see your perspective on how much you love your son and how he is ur world makes me literally wanna cry because my mom sees me that way ( I hope). Motherly love is so awesome and so strong

this has helped so much, I've had a really horrible week in which I've really felt hatred for myself. watching this made me realise how truly valid that feeling is, but also how, just like a bubble, it will pop and the thoughts and feelings will pass eventually. just give yourself patience as well as love

I’m a mom too, so I totally understand your choice! I’m rooting for your next chapter in life, and wishing you and your beautiful family the best.

I feel like this is very unfair to him. He can’t move back because his son is here. He doesn’t have a family here now either. The kind of sacrifice Ben did - most men from most countries won’t support their women like this at all.

@poojakumaraguru8641 It is unfair to Ben. I knew this was going to happen. You see it in "solo" travel vids, the expressions on "friends" faces & their subtle comments, the in-laws always around, the house purchase in the paper (no mention of hubby's name) Wow.

@@LuxuryMommyI don’t think this is true at all! In Asian culture it’s very normal for in laws to help look after the kid and be around all the time.. my grandma pretty much raised me even though my mum was around too.. I dont think it’s fair that your life as an individual must stop when you become a mum, otherwise you’re not a good one.
@nicolebennett90954 ай бұрын
@@LuxuryMommyThis is a wild take. In many cultures the mother will have their own mom help out and allow the mother to rest and the dad. She had just had the baby and PPD is something to help with at all costs if you can. It truly takes a village to raise a baby. I just think they both were not ready to have a kid and still love their son and took it on but these huge life choices can sever relationships.

I can’t believe I’m writing this but this video compelled me lol but Jenn I love you and your spirit and your energy and your videos. You were the first KZbinr that I ever watched intentionally in college 13 years ago and it introduced me to a world of KZbin that I love so much - one with beautify, lifestyle, GRWM, fashion, introspection, and education. Your videos have always been my safe haven. And I never comment on KZbin videos lmaoo cuz I’m too much of a weenie for that lol but I hope you know how much you mean to us and how you just sharing this stage in your life means so much. I recently broke up with a long term partner and we are the best of friends but it still is something that I will be healing from for a while. And it’s still hard and emotional and different and okay and everything you expressed and I appreciate it so much. I’m so happy for you, Ben, and Len because he’s gonna grow up with amazing happy parents and that’s all that matters and that’s all a kid growing up wants and needs. You are the dopest fucking mom. I can’t wait to continue being on this journey with you! I’m so proud you are my fav KZbinr ❤

That's crazy! I was watching one of your latest videos and I thought you didn't seem all right, so I scrolled and saw this video. I'm sending you a lot of love and light! I'm sure you have all the skills to navigate that, but it doesn't mean it's going to be easy. Also, omg these people judging you for not showing your toddler. It's your choice, and I'm sure you'll find a balance that works.

Hi Jenn, this is my first commet to you since I have been subscribing you. I am not sure but I was quite young when I first met you - maybe my late teen or early twenties around 2010. Now I found myself in early thirties. Most of all, I would like to thank you for all the energies and the strength you have given during my good days and my bad days. Your cheerful energy and power to life and sharing them with good will have always been so inspiring to me. As I have been always receiving, I hope my short comment could be the same to you. Please note that we are here for you with all our heart. I thought I know myself 100% during the time when I met you but going forward, now I am so not sure about who I am - but this is life, isn't it? I decided to embrace the uncertainty of who I am and trust this will lead me further. Hope you could find your inner strength and also be vulnerable too. Love you so so much from Korea.

@jennim- I’ve been watching you for a while and your videos just help me cope thru stress. Most of my stress comes from my marriage of 5 years and have a 1 year old. I have been doing everything I can within my power to clutch onto this relationship that has been feeling so disconnected for a while- since we been married. We fought a lot. It all stems from lack of communication. We have such different communication styles. I like to address it then and there, at least within the day of the fight or disagreement. He likes to not talk about it and forget about it. I can’t bring up stuff he does that bothers me or his family does that I find that there should be some boundaries. Long story short, I’ve been feeling super depressed bc I feel like I’ve been stuck in this vicious cycle .. I just think that you’d probably understand what I’m going through. I just wanted to vent.. thanks for listening

I relate to this so deeply. Navigating a breakup with a longterm partner that you still have a lot of love for is such a different type of heartbreak. I don't have a child with my ex, and we don't see each other, but I still grieve "us." My alone times are truly alone as well. Sometimes it is truly overwhelming, but I like what you said about trying to romanticize it. ❤ I wish you continued healing and lots of happiness in your new chapter.

Went through it when my son was exactly the same age. People also judged me for not being a good mom, and I definitely got defensive about it and told them to STFU. I also felt alone as well, but as the time went on, I became comfortable with the new life. Best of all, I became so proud of myself for all the super power and love I could give my son. There is light at the end of the tunnel, I promise you that you’ll see it sooner than you expected. Lots of love and positive vibes to you ❤
