Oh holidays. I was looking forward to sleeping in a little bit this morning, especially after having to work Saturday and Sunday this weekend, but that changed when I received a call from my little guy at 6:15 in the morning. He was crying.
Here's the deal. I have sacrificed everything in my life for my little guy, emotionally and financially, and there is no one in this world who can show up here and cause me to think I've failed him. Or make me think I'm not a good and strong woman because I finally chose not to roll over and accept the millionth broken promise like a wet rug. When I was in love with him I loved him fiercely. I protected his reputation by keeping all his dirty secrets from his family and our mutual friends, and even continue to do so after all these years. How's that for loyalty?
Anyways, it doesn't matter. The past is the past and it can't be changed. My only concern is for my son. And he was crying this morning and the words he said to me over the phone is still ringing in my ears.
the kiddo
That's a hard thing to hear through the phone. Could you delete my old link? I no longer own that address.
