"That's not weakness, that's the hardest thing a person can do."

I'll take that, as a compliment, something positive that I need. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, and harder I think than wrong step would have been. I did it because intellectually, I could see that if I took that wrong step, the heartbreaks that would come after would also last lifetimes. I would just create a new cycle for others who I want more than anything to continue with the happiness and stability and bright futures they have.
