i'm not responsible for you hcw2815: for so long my life was your life and your life mine. i couldn't take a step without considering you first. after 8 years of marriage and 13 years of being involved with you and i walking away finally. it is hard because i love you and always will. but i cannot save you from yourself. that is what you want but i cannot do it. you have to do it. you're not a bad man. just troubled and for the sake our son and yourself i want you to get better. i also want to get better. my self esteem has plummeted during our marriage because of your depression and emotional abuse. i need to get better and love myself and demand respect from you and everyone too. i also need to respect me. i met you at 17 and you were my first love. we grew up together you and i. but now we've grown apart and have to say goodbye. i love you but i can't stay, painful as it is. i know that the anger in your voice when you speak to me is because you're hurt and bitter and really want it to work. but first you have to work on yourself. get better. goodbye.
