Treausr, it reminds me of this email I sent to my H almost a year ago. Like yours, I think mine asked him to stop what he was doing without ever actually telling him what you want. My response, "What do you want Own?"
It is my fervent hope that you will awaken from the heady fog in which you find yourself and reevaluate all that is at stake.
We've spent our lives in a shared mission for the pursuit of excellence and have achieved much together for ourselves and our children. To abandon that journey at this critical juncture is to endanger the legacy of that life's work.
As I hear the latest news of XXXs imminent demise, I am reminded of the ephemeral nature of any institution that fails to properly value its membership. It is often true that the thing which appears to be shiny and new lacks the staying power and dependability of the tried and true. Quality endures long after novelty is gone.
I'm sure that like me you want our childrens' biography to be one of dedicated parenting paving the way for success rather than scandal for public consumption, or worse yet another tale of what might have been.
I often wonder what each of us could have accomplished had we had the type of parents who put our needs first rather than slavishly giving in to the same dysfunctions which plagued the generations before us.
I do know that it is hollow to strive to become a pillar of your community when your own home is broken and you have made no effort to fix it. Personal victories are meaningless when they come at the expense of others.
I'm heartbroken at the time we have all already lost, by the exciting news you have not yet heard, and the joys and sorrows you will not experience in the coming days. I ache for the missed connections and the lost opportunities.
