its hard when the family was involved. my heart aches for the child i had to leave behind when i left my exA. hes a great great kid and didnt deserve a father like he ended up with... but all i could control was the effect the relationship had on my own child.
people see the A suffering the results of their own choices and you were there before to make things "better"... they turn to you again. just as his son sends me these heart breaking half smiles half pleads when i see him... its like.. "please make things right for Dad again" and i cant. nobody can except him.
i know the pain it brings... only too well. for me... i pray a lot to god to protect and help all those who love my exA... for their pain is there.. he is just going to crawl into his denial.. they have denial of their own.. but its not the kind to make things easier for them.. only harder.
keep the faith.. god will watch over you.
