@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

“Stop pretending everything is okay and build a new life where maybe it finally can be”. This part. 👏

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 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. ❤️

This is absolutely right. This is my life, this is also how my kids are learning to not settle. Abuse in any form is absolutely unacceptable. My kids are happy, they are safe, they know I will protect them at all cost.

Oh Emily!!!!! 😭 I left when my son was 5, he's 9 now and this wasn't the life I wanted for him! 🤞 "Staying would have taught you all the wrong kinds of love..." I felt that.

This hits so hard while I sit here trying to make the decision of what I want to do and how it will affect my kids. Worrying about the message I'll be sending no matter which direction I decide to go😔
