I’m having a hard time right now. My partner still drinks and I feel like I am his mother as well as the mother to our two young children. Our children are the light of my life, but it just always feels like we are an inconvenience to him and just the obstacle that’s preventing him from pursuing everything he wants in life. It’s really isolating to live alongside someone that is so obsessed with their own wants and desires and could care less about the kids or I. I remember a quote from Robin Williams about how the worst thing in life is not to end up alone, but rather to end up with people who make you feel alone.
I don’t want to feel alone anymore.
