Beginning of the End

[TimR]

Thank you JujuB. It really helps to have someone recognize my relationship with the kids.

My IC made the comment that "hurt people, Hurt people." I am not trying to shirk any of my responsibilities in damaging our M. I certainly contributed my fair share to the damage of our marriage. I recognize that I hurt her and not just superficially. But I cannot take the blame that she never expressed it too me until it was too late. Yes we did not have a stellar marriage but and there were times I thought of walking away, but I didn't. I also didn't look outside the marriage and some of the other horrible things she did (I am sure I will be told to start a new thread soon and will outline our relationship at the beginning).

Now I am left with just S13 and I feel obligated no matter the cost (financially and emotionally) to be there for him.
