Even as you write about your struggle and hurt, you still write it with compassion. That says so much about you.

This is so true.

What is important is to have someone next to you who is willing to try and understand this journey, to let you find your way and then join you so that you both can grow together.

You are not being treated as you should, and there is no excuse! Negative feelings aside, and regardless of the past, he is in the wrong. As the mother of his children, and the one who provides constant love and attention and stability, he should be treating you with respect and thanking you for all that you do. He needs to shape up and start contributing something good to your lives and stop taking you all for granted.

This makes me so mad. I want to slap him with nettles!
