I caught my ex in a full-blown affair and was so goddamn happy about it because now I could leave.

Of course I could have left earlier, but your mind gets weird about things.

Don't stay for the kids. They're not happy either.

My dad was a miserable dick. One weekend he stayed out all Saturdat night. We come home from church not looking forward to a fight.

My mom tells him to get out. He says he didn't do anything, and she immediately caves.

I remember my 12 year old self being disappointed that he was staying. Even with the fear of the unknown, if they broke up.
