I think when the bad days outweighed the good and I saw it affecting my children, that's when I knew it was time.

I honestly stayed in it longer because of the children.

I knew with my second, I was breastfeeding.

And I remember having these thoughts like months prior before I actually filed of, okay, well, if I file and get divorced now,

how do I continue to breastfeed my child when it's his time to parent?

Like, do I have to drop off breast milk?

Like it made me sick thinking about that.

And so strategically, unfortunately, like I did plan it to where I would be done breastfeeding.

It just got to a point where I had told myself, and I know a lot of women can relate because I get questions in my DMs about this a lot.

I wanted to get to a place where,

Where when I did file and decided to walk away, I could look back and know that I exhausted all efforts and took all the steps I could to make it work.

And when that bad days outweighed the good.

And I look back and know that I could put a checkmark next to all those things.

So it's unfortunate, it's sad, but I know I made the right decision.

It's hard and it's still hard.

I mean, just the other week with all the kids, we still get this.

Why can we all live together?

They're still kids.

They still don't get it.

Right.
