@be_formidable_always wow,you've had a rough life. mine wasn't that bad,i mean,my dad left because they got a divorce because he cheated,etc. and bc my country was in a bad time,an economical crisis,he left to spain where his family is from to get a job,and lived there ever since,but he visits us,etc. is just that is not the same as growing up with someone always there,seeing them like less than a month per year and talking sometimes on the phone,and i knew what he had done when i was little and with who,because we knew that woman,she was a family friend,so i hated him for years,i didn't like him. now we get along better,i told him some years ago how i felt and a couple years ago i got repentance out of him,which i had never heard he felt,so that was better,knowing he regreted it i guess. but still,he lives in like another continent so the relationship is not deep,it's kinda weird,idk,i've had some childhood trauma,hate towards men since i was little,etc. luckily he hasn't been in jail,i'm sorry you had to go through that,and i'm happy he snapped out of it thanks to your kids,i hope they are healthy and alright now. i haven't been there,but i can kinda imagine what it must feel like,though i don't know anyone who has a relative that's gone to jail or anything,i think that happens more often in the USA,and i'm not american (south american,that i am haha). it's amazing that you have that kind of relationship with your man,i wish the best for you too,all the happiness forever and ever :) and you're welcome,same to you if you need to let things out with a stranger that won't judge you or know you in real life,haha :P
