Today makes 26 years that my parents (My mother & step-father) have been married. I kept saying 27 years... the last 4 months have felt like an entire year.
July 19th, I was told that my step-dad had been cheatting with mistresses & prostitutes for over 15 years. The news devastated me, as my mom & I put him "over" us for for SO LONG - giving him the best food, us doing without necessities... I would even eat his left-overs, he left so much food on his plate, just so wasteful.
Today my mother decided that their relationship will be business only & he is moving from the pool-house into one of the rent houses that has been empty for some time.
It is appopriate that this is the day of the beginning & the day of the "end".
At least now, my poor betrayed & broken hearted mother will have some space & peace to get her life back.
I continue to work on & strengthen myself in the program, learning how to put myself "first" one day at a time.

Give your Mum a hug from me as well. It takes a lot of strength to make a decision like that after being together so many years. Today's date will be significant for both you and your Mum. You can only go up from here. Luv Leo
