I know overall that I have nothing to be ashamed of except being a doormat. I tried to hold my family together. He is the one who should be ashamed of himself, but I have a feeling there is no shame on his part.
I know how hard you've struggled with your journey on this path...there is never shame in trying to spare your children pain. But one day, (and likely soon for us both), our own pain bleeds over onto our children, and then what have we accomplished? Certainly not what we had hoped...
