Just for you.

It is what it is.  Things will never change.  I have grown to understand that and probably will continue to do so as I get old mature.  It is unbelievably heartbreaking to believe that someone would change - for you or for themselves but then they don't.  You have hope, you try to believe in them, and all you are is let down time and time again.  Heartbreaking, to say the least.

People may wonder where the relationship has gone, they may talk about it, "Why are they so hateful?", "No respect", "Children should value their parents while they are alive."   At the end of the day - you are the one that knows what has really happened. 

I'm not alone in this.  Children, adults, families have been torn apart for years over selfish decisions made.  Often times decisions are made by parents that never truly understood how their actions have impacted the lives of their children. 

Children turn cold, unloving, distant, and angry.

Drugs, affairs, abandonment, lies.


I pray to be different.  To put my children first, my family, and My God.
