I told her, I want them to stay home, and that she will pay me some rent, and it will be her home. I told her, that I do that for the kids and because I understood, that I do not want hurt her and most importantly kids to suffer more than they will. They feel good in that home. I also reassured, that I will most probably leave the country as I need to move forward with my life and I do not see that happening where I am now. I came here for her, and I was happy with that. Now, as she decided to move forward without me, I need to address my needs and move with my life forward as she did. I was very calm, did not try to make her change the mind or blackmail her. On the contrary I showed that after our previous conversation I realize it's over with our M.
