Ahhh! You make a really great point there! And I think when you’re caught up in the moment like I was, I thought I could. But we had to face reality. I’m still a college student and have 2 more years to go. Me not finishing college was out of the question for everyone involved. I couldn’t drop my life to accommodate his nor would he ever want me to. He’s the one that pushed me to start my own business, to travel, to adventure. Him asking me to drop that for him was antithetical to everything he stood up for. And while he wasn’t asking me to be a mother to them, I didn’t even think I was even suitable to be a mother to 4 kids who just lost theirs. It’s figuring out how to prioritize the kid’s well-being while seeing how our relationship fits into it all, while also figuring out the path I want my own life to take. It’s a balancing act. And a lot of figuring out to do. But I’m lucky to have a very supportive partner :)
