As always, leaving is hard.
It's complicated.
And it's incredibly painful.
But it was not without reason.
I left my marriage.
I left my home.
I left my church.
And I left my religion.
These were my world at one time, but they are not for me now. They cannot be for me.
My kids are my family, and I love them dearly, and hate the trauma that this has caused them.
I would have stayed if I could.
Nearly two years after our separation and a year and half after our divorce, I am even more convinced that my decision was the right one.
I wish you all the peace that comes with making the right decision, even when that decision is the hardest one you've ever made.

"'But' said Sam, and tears started in his eyes, 'I thought you were going to enjoy the Shire, too, for years and years, after all you have done.'
'So thought I too, one. But I have been too deeply hurt, Sam. I tried to save the Shire, and it has been saved, but not for me.'"
-"The Return of the King", J. R. R. Tolkien
