Sweetie, just be the person you aspire to be.

How do you want him to think about you when you leave?

And no, do not say they/you miss him. He knows it, but, hearing it out loud will seem like pressure to him and guilt from you.

I know it's hard to understand that he has become this person. But, for right now, he has.

While you might not agree with his choices, they are his to make, andhe needs to be sure you have heard them.

Your job is to protect yourself and your children financially and help them emotionally. He is not able to at the moment.

So, go be the capable,strong, Life you know you are.
