A letter to my son

I am sorry. I am sorry I can't always keep it together. Just know that while your dad and I are no longer together, you weren't created out of hate. You were a very big surprise, but a good one and we both love you very much.

I'm sorry things didn't work out the way we wanted. It hurts my heart knowing that all you've ever known is that mom has a house and dad has a house, but I promise it's for a good reason. I tried for a very long time to keep everything together. I wanted you to grow up in a good environment and I knew that wouldn't be the case.

Yes, I get stressed from time to time but I know that if things were still the same I'd be stressed all the time, and it would be a completely different kind of stress. The kind of stress that would cause you, my toddler, to stress yourself and get upset about. That is no way to live. It was a VERY tough decision for me to make, but I knew I had to make it.

I will always want and strive for what's best for you.

I love you hampig.
