I admire the strength and courage it took to say: enough. You matter and you deserve a relationship in which you are respected; it does sound like he checked out long before and you both gave it what you were willing to. You’re a loving mom to have checked in and helped your children with after effects…

Thanks for trusting us with your story…these are important for both women and men to be reminded: look at the flags—and have the conversation. 😌
