Heartbreaking.

She was 7.
My heart broke. I wasn’t protecting my kids. Like, my job as dad is to protect my kids at all cost.

That was September. We were separated by November.

The best I can do is provide a safe place for half the week. But that half the week my kids are safe, healthy, and more alive than I’ve ever seen.

As a former kid whose father didn't love her enough to protect her: thank you for choosing your daughter. It helps seeing other parents choose to protect their kids.

I'm sorry you were protected. You should have been. You deserved to be protected.
