I know I’m in a better place in my life, but I often find myself thinking about him, what if he tried to make it work?

When I see him, I see a sadness within him, defeated, too much on his plate, tired and drained.

I know for me I’m better off, I would always have to deal with her, her manipulation and lies. He didn’t stand up to her then and he wouldn’t later.

He may be better off too, only have to deal with one person, even though he knows how she is, he’s doing it all for his daughter.

But was it worth it? Isn’t happiness important? Can’t love overcome everything? I find myself asking these questions over and over again.
