Well it's sure as hell gonna suck to be HER!

She gets all that baggage that comes along with him.

Let him say he's gone to be with her, Emily.
Who gives a rat's ass?
You need to take care of these issues that YOU have because your daughters deserve to have at least one mature, stable parent.
You need to tighten up, straighten up and grow up.

Should he ever decide to do the same, maybe you will let him come back into YOUR life...MAYBE.

But for now at least, good riddance.
He is dysfunctional. He is a liar, a cheat and not even half the man those girls need to be their Daddy.

I'm sorry that you are hurting.
But I only see this as a blessing for you.
With him, you will never demand more of yourself than pacifying him would require.

So where do you want to go on this first day of the rest of your life, Emily?

Oh! And back to bed to pull the covers up over your eyes is NOT an option.

You can do this.
