Sparks,

I could have written what you wrote.

My WAW dated abusive men that cheated on her. I was just the opposite. I provided stability that she never experienced before. I helped her build her credit. She became a first time homebuyer with me.

I supported her through her alcohol rehab and was there for every visitation (3 hour drive one way!). Her mom and sister didn't even do that for her.

I took her D in as my own. Did her homework with her D every night. Provided them with vacations and fun trips that they could never have afforded.

It's amazing the similarities we have. I feel so taken for granted and discarded like a piece of garbage. I feel used by her.
