Nate,

I can usually keep my feelings under check. I smile I pretend and I carry on. But tonight I certainly out did myself, and I am actually embarrassed I feel like I have failed Kyle & Diane.

When Diane’s math teacher told us about how far behind she is and all the foundational work that Diane missed I wanted to hit you. One of the most important phases of her school career for what she wants to do one day and you F*&%&  it up. Literally ….

“I know there were problems, but is it now sorted…?” and you say nothing….

I needed to speak up …. I hope you realized in that moment I did not lie when I said they are struggling, it is not right what you are doing to your own children….. Nate really….

I know our children are not angels and they take their fair share of chances, but I was here when you weren’t. Their whole lives they had a father that they could count on, that was dependable and where is he now, with another woman playing house, house. They do not see that you are cheating on me, in their eyes you are cheating on them too.

I wanted to blast you, but I realized they cannot deal with that now. They need to know they can count on me.

I am angry….. I am disappointed ….. I am hurting….. do you see that…
