commitment and love.
Least that is what I had seen from my side of things as to why she put up with me. Didn't see it at the time but sure did see it when I found a sober life.

because I love him and because he still has a lot to teach me about myself. G has forced me to see things about myself that I had hidden. Things that I thought I'd left behind.
Thank you for this thread.

The fear of the unknown is far more to handle than the discomfort of the known! Money, he is the father of my children, and we are connected on a greater level than meets the eye. However, I know I deserve better and if I had the means, I dont know if I would stay or not.

Money, pure and simple. He's killed the love long ago.
