I'm feeling a bit better about the separation today. I had a conversation with D16 yesterday that makes me think getting him out of the house might actually be a good thing. She has his sharp tongue and when they butt heads it's particularly ugly.
I don't understand myself, though. How can I look back at the M and realize how poorly I've been treated for a long time, look at how he's treating my D, and still want him to stay? I feel like there's something wrong with me.
