D,

Currently I am standing for my beliefs and values. I made a commitment that I want to keep. My feelings on this may change in the future. I also want to teach my sons that you need patience and that some things in life are extremely hard. You need to forgive people who hurt you in order to move forward.

My maternal grandmother had a multiple issues and was in and out of mental health facilities. She had multiple personalities and put my grandad through a lot. Most of this was kept a secret from my mother and aunt. When she finally passed my granddad moved on and remarried quite quickly and some family members were pissed. 15 years later on his death bed he finally told my mom everything that was going on including how she was adopted through some shady back channels. My mother asked him why did you stay with her? He replied ‘When a man makes a commitment he keeps it, and who would of taken care of you and your sister if I left.” He was a saint.

Now I don’t plan on following his lead and being a martyr but I have the utmost respect for him and hope my sons feel the same way about me in the future.
