They didn't have a choice, but I did. And I made the wrong one for many years. I can't take that back now, although often I wish I could. I love my children with all my heart and it pains me to think that I put my "marriage" above them for so many years. Especially when I see what kind of "marriage" it was. Hindsight is 20/20, as they say. There are no do-overs in parenting.

I know. It makes me sad. Yesterday was a great day, too. AH was in a good mood, he spent a lot of time with our son and was so positive. I sit there with my mouth hanging open thinking, 'this is the same man who claimed that he didn't care about his kid's feelings the day before?'
So, I get this false sense of hope. Sometimes I just don't know who I live with!
