About Me

Life goes on. We have adjusted to a smaller family. It's kind of weird to realize that Renata will be graduating this year and will probably choose to move out, making the family even smaller.

I realized, about a week before Pauli's death, that my marriage to Paul (his dad) was not fixable. I have no trust in him and he showed me that he has none in me. No amount of counseling in the world will fix this rift, will rebuild that trust. Paul wants me to wait until he is released to make this decision final but I can't. I have given him eighteen years and more chances than any one person has a right to. I still love him, but not as a husband --I'm not IN love with him.

This was not a decision easily or lightly made.I have a right to seek happiness. I have a right to create a life not centered around him. And to be honest, he has left me with such trust issues...
