My son, my husband...
Today my four year old son said "Mommy, I want me and daddy to move to Michigan with grandma and grandpa...I don't love you and I don't want to live with you." There was no fighting going on, he wasn't in trouble, or in time out, we were just hanging out and he randomly said this.
This prompted a talk between me and my husband about whether or not I want him to leave, I don't, but not for reasons of undying love, or anything like that, for reasons like me not having a car or drivers license, only a small part time job that I would no longer be able to get to. I wouldn't be able to pay rent, buy groceries, or pay for the upcoming dental work that I know I need.
I don't love my husband, I haven't for several years. I couldn't tell him that I loved him when he asked me, now he's mad, and it would be so easy to just tell him that I DO want him to leave, and be done with it, that would leave me in a very terrible position, but I would FINALLY be free...
I am heartbroken that I am the kind of mother that a four year old would want to be rid of...
