Thanks for the comment, Mary Ann. Again — when I made that statement I haven’t done it to offend anymore. For example, if I would have not had a child I would have probably left too. Yet, I wouldn’t have taken any offense in such a message because I would have known it was not about me. People that are offended, are usually unsure of their decisions. So it’s not my job to protect anyone’s feelings — it’s your choice to read, after all. Now, regarding my child — I’m giving you a bit of insight: my husband and I act like two decent and educated people. We are warm with each other, without being overly affectionate, we communicate and there are plenty of situations when we have fun together. My son loves his father. Do you think it would be more beneficial for him to take him away from his father, now, when the attachment is formed, than trying to make a team with his father by pushing through? This is not an indefinite situation — I will probably not age with this man around, but as of now, it’s the best decision I can make. And if that makes me selfish — for sticking around and being proud of my effort (hence, calling myself a winner) — so be it.
