Upon further reflection and some private conversation with those who mean most to me, I do want everyone to know that my decision to leave is my own.
Things did not work out as I thought they would and I am choosing to bail out before the kids make new friends and they have to face another separation like they experienced 3 months ago.
It is not in any way whatsoever because of ~anything~ Ramius did or did not do. He's one of the finest men in the world.
I am completely to blame for this and accept full responsibility for everyone who has been hurt by my choices.
I love you guys lots and really regret the pain I've caused to those who mean so much to me.
I'm so sorry.
You're a strong lady, Ruthy, and I admire that!
I just don't know what to say that hasn't been said. Prayers for all of you...it's all I can really do.
We run, we trip, we sometimes get tripped, and we pick ourselves up and dust off and put some ointment on it.
I seriously don't know what to say... Nothing can make it better yet, but we'll heal in time. Good luck this week, I'm sure it ain't easy for you.
