Been a roller coaster of a year for everyone in the world since that post. Maybe a bit more for me. I never pulled the trigger after all. More deaths on my side of the family. More craziness from my kids, I stayed for years because of them, thinking i have to protect them. More drinking and drugs from my wife. Still scared for my kids. No more mister nice guy. I had my attorney update the dates and I’m signing the papers tomorrow. For real this time.

Been in therapy and seriously, it helps. I had two therapists tell me to get the fuck out. They’re right. The cycle stops now.

My kids will see that I am the sober, employed, kind parent. My house will be a good house. I sincerely hope their mother takes this as a wake up call and gets her shit together. If she doesn’t, I’m fucking ready for that too. Digital recordings, witnesses to all sorts of assholery, and probably most importantly if this goes nuclear, I’ve got fucking money and I can make more tomorrow.

Thanks for reading.
