@emily.orta: I wrote this for my kids— so one day they’ll understand why things had to change. But the more I read it… the more I realize it might help someone else find the strength to leave too. 🫶 #poetrytok #spokenpoetry #poem #poetry #poems

“Staying would have taught you all the wrong kinds of love. So I left. Not because I gave up on us. But because I refuse to give up on you. You deserve to see your mom happy”

This! No one talks about when you finally move on from your child’s father, you also carry the guilt from moving on because you know they’ll never have the “family” you always so badly wanted for them

Not me sobbing at 6am on my way to work thinking about my children and praying that one day they will forgive me for all the times I messed up hoping they realize I was just in survival mode and doing the best I could. 😔

it's easier to raise a whole child than fix a broken adult. broken homes are better than unhappy ones

It isn’t the life I wanted for my kids… I truly tried and I’m so sorry, but I pray my kids find true love and happiness. They deserve that and if I had to make this ultimate sacrifice for them, I’d do it again.

Therapist here. I believe that previous generations were taught to stay even when the marriage is awful. Even when the balance of power is terribly skewed. By leaving, you’re teaching your kids a valuable lesson. Focus on healing and co-parenting as best you can. You kids are resilient, and with good support, they’re going to be just fine. Divorce isn’t the end of the world. ❤️

I have never ever heard something so relatable. This is my life right here . I told my boys no one steals your voice or peace that’s why I left . You need two parent’s happy not miserable together 🥺

I could listen to you read the phone book and you would have my undivided attention. You have a calm, soothing delivery that captivates me beyond your content.
