so you didn't come for the granted visit yesterday, which I managed to hide most of my disappointment but it burned in my heart. K filling my head with concerns about this R person that's entered your life, and I'm reminding myself that as long as your happy while you can't have me i have to accept your choices, because i can't and won't ask you to wait for me, pinning away the days, weeks, or years. I love the idea, but it is not fair to ask it of you, so I don't. All I want is to know with a reasonable amount of assurance is that when I'm ready, you will be, too. Even if it means I may have to wait around bit. I was not kidding when I told you that you are my final destination. What i feel for you, fills every last crevice of my heart, every empty void, every nook. I have my kids, your kids (yea, I haven't met them, but on some level love the two I haven't met because they're part of you), I've had my one-off marriage, and those who slid into my heart before, seeking shelter from life-storms; and then there is you. But I won't have you dependent on alcohol. I can't handle the drunk side of you, my sweet, he's too much for me. I've tried; the drunk you has nearly killed me emotionally. The drunk you has used and abused me and my family, and I have to protect them. I love you, and I know the sober you will understand, but I have to protect them. I want you, my Wolf, but I need you sober. I won't turn my back on you, I can't. But I also can't allow myself to fall any further. You have consumed every shard of my heart, my Wolf, and I will stand fast. But I need a sober Wolf to enter my life. You are mine, now and always, as I am yours, heart and soul. As I will it, so shall it be.
my kids think I dont put them first
If they only knew... if I were selfish, I'd have left them here with E years ago, without a word.. before the eldest moved out on their own, I'd have left. I'd have left when E left the first bruise (accidentally, though it was) on their arm while restraining them to punish them for something I can't even remember today. I'd have left E the day he accidentally choked my youngest, who was only trying to protect they're elder sibling from the wrath they felt sure they saw in his eyes after learning the middle had self-harmed. Blaming me for not checking on them, when the greater harm had been to the middle and I was checking on them! Protecting the middle from what I saw was the greater threat, E. But I stay here! To protect their ungrateful asses from the man I said vows to, though every second of every day I regret it deeper and deeper in my heart. My kids don't think I put them first when I find solace of any kind in the proximity of O - but they...have......
