“Drastic Change”
I feel like we tried everything,
Communicating, even couples therapy,
I never want to be with someone just to put up an act for my kids,
I feel drained,
I’m tired of all the arguing, silent treatments, and tension everytime were in the same room,
Going to sleep feeling lonely when she’s literally right next to me,
I know the kids are really young but I know somehow they can slightly catch on,
This final argument was the last straw and she wanted me to leave,
I decided to just leave everything the money, the keys, the car, everything,
Went to my moms house and talked to her,
We communicated and told me even though her and I aren’t together still try to communicate for the kids sake,
I took her advice and we came to an agreement for every other week,
I would send money every chance I could, call everyday etc,
We did this for a couple months until she dropped them off and never came back,
I loved my kids and I would do everything in my power to protect them and raise them,
But I literally had nothing since I left it all with their mother,
I had no car, none of their clothes or shoes besides the selected few they just brought,
Back living with my mother,
And all I had to my name at the moment was a minimum wage job that wasn’t going to cover 3 kids and 1 adult,
How is this going to work ?
