Going dim is hard. Especially after my horrible slip ups. But everytime I miss him I look at the kids and remember what he is putting them through and I back away from the phone.

Ironically since I have stopped asking the why or telling him how what he is doing is hurting me and my only communication has been one or two word replies when he initiates, last night I got a....honey I hope you and the kids are okay....text.

And this morning it was.......good morning my love I hope you and our kids enjoy your day.

Hmph!
