You are stronger than you give yourself credit for Shannon. Do not let him take you away from you. You can't control him and never could. You can only control you. Love yourself, with as much passion as you do him because you will be the only one to live with yourself forever! Remember that! Love your daughter. Once upon a time there was just you, Shannon. You haven't been with this man forever. You can do this!
"It is excruciating pain. It is the pain of separation, the pain of loss, the pain of dreams and expectations unrealized. It is the loss and death of a mirage."
