Going In Circles

[shouldistillhope]

When we first met around 12 years ago I was working the night shift and we only saw each other on weekends for the most part. She got pregnant when she was 16 and when we started dating, her son was already 8 years old. She had full custody of him and he only saw his biological dad once a month or so.

So between me working the night shift and her busy raising her son, we never really had much time alone together. I can see now that this started causing a distance between us that proved to be toxic.
