This is what he said to me a couple weeks ago when I told him he needed to respect our oldest son after repeatedly interrupting him and talking over him.

Yes, that was his extreme reaction to being told to respect another human and not treat him as property.

So I’m changing directions and methods. This blog will now become more about my creative writing and trying to monetize that. Why? So I can pay down my own personal debts and become more financially secure so that I can keep my kids in our house. So I have more financial wiggle room and liquidity when I need to pay legal fees and things.

He essentially threatened to abandon his kids in order to punish me. The household peace has been restored for now and I intend on keeping that way while I move silently and make things happen for me and the boys future.

I cannot let him gaslight and manipulate me or these boys anymore. He cannot gaslight us and let these boys second-guess their own thoughts and feelings. He’s done that enough already. My goal now is to protect them, making sure they know they should trust themselves and to get out within the next 2 years, before my 40th birthday.

In the process, I’m going to be reclaiming my autonomy and working on finding myself again after all the damage he’s caused. Please continue to read and follow along, though my content will change.

It needs to change to decentralize him.
