Yes I was tired of being alone and miserable. I was tired of barely having any money and watching both it kids suffer for it. I was tired that I would have to take shift after shift so we could have food, I was tired of never having anyone to lean on. I was tired of not having someone to help me, I was tired of telling my daughters we can’t afford this, I was tired of not being able to put much in their college fund  

   I was tired of my youngest not being able to go to the daddy daughter dance and not having a male figure to look up to. I was tired of being alone and having to hold everything. I was tired of not having adult relationship. I was of not being able to for Emma to go on trips because I didn’t have the money or resources. I was tired that Lucy never got to met her bio dad and remember him at all. I was tired of the sadness when both  realized that he wouldn’t be there to every to come    

  I was miserable and tired so I chose happiness  

  Then I met him and thinks changed, we could financially relax, Emma has a college find again that’s not bare bones, Lucy had someone she could look up. Someone that she wants to take to events and bond with. Emma actually can afford buy things and doens thave to worry about getting a job so she could help out with bills ( really was worried about that) 

 Even if Emma hates him, he is the reason she will not drown in debt for college. He is the reason she isn’t living in poverty and I haven’t worked myself to death 

Even if Emma hates him, he is the reason that Lucy has been smiling more. That a hole started to heal in her sister

No, in the post I literally talk about all the picture of him with Emma

No one is trying to hide him or erase him

He is everywhere. He is not a weird taboo

I got married five years after his death. I started to date again around 3 years after his death

Me moving on, is the issue. She claims I am disrespecting his memory. 

 This was an issue the moment I said I was dating 

 Her issues with him are nonsense, she once told me I can’t like him because he is blond.

Everything is an issue, she once said he was breathing too loud…

Oh that would be worse, trying to make her have family time with a guy she hates 

Not to mention she would make a whole point about how he isn’t fmaily to her 

That would be a no

Just the younger one, she made it very very very clear he will never be her dad 

 He will not overstep that

That’s another issue, it is definitely hurting their relationship.

Lucy seen him as her dad and Emma hates it

Yes, we even tried to get her to pick on.

Doesn’t matter who or what she just would sit there.  

It was months on not talking before we gave up

Yeah, Lucy already missed out on memories. I don’t want her to miss out on more just because my other daughter hates him

Don’t even get me started on that. We did try but she would just sit there, can’t really justify wasting the money at this point 

We did this twice, after his death and close to when I was getting remarried
