Well...
It might sound easier to stick your head back in the sand (as if you could) but it isn't. Not really.
Hard is living a life that you know is wrong...that you know is harmful to you and your kids...
Hard is living with resentment and anger...
Change can be scary...
But once you get started...once you take that FIRST step, you'll find that the second step is easier...and the third easier still...and its easy compared to living a lie becaue you'll be living in the truth.
Baby steps...
That's all you gotta focus on...
You CAN do it.
You absolutely positively CAN.
