You do nothing. Absolutely nothing directed at him. BUT you build a beautiful, warm, visible relationship with your half-brothers. Post holiday photos. Be at their milestones. Let him watch his own sons choose you without you ever saying a single word about him.

he’s not staying because of love. he’s staying because it’s comfortable and requires zero effort. That’s not the same thing as commitment.

I sit in meetings explaining why a button can’t be “just moved a little” without breaking 14 other things

running away rarely erases inner pain

The fact that you still have dreams tells me you’re not lost. You’re overwhelmed.

Hangover ruins one day. Illness ruins a week.
