I really do. I've been reading about disengagement and it sounds wonderful to have that kind of peace.
I keep opening myself up to be hurt and I don't like it.

My husband has custody of his kids which means I'm full time step mom. I knew this before we married, it wasn't sprung on me. I knew my husband traveled for work, sometimes had long hours evenwhen working close to home. I knew I would be the "primary adult parent figure" in the home.
