Sometimes one has to walk away even though it shatters your heart.
When love is not enough, we can only hang on so long until the heartache, pain, anxiety, and eventually fear overwhelms you.
The moment arrives in a flash when your whole being shouts "NO MORE". That's it. Hard stop. No contact.
One moment of being swore at again that's one time too many.
One moment of all that is bad, not the good that remains, being pushed to the fore.
One moment where it's all about you, not our crisis.
One moment where I'm pushed to choose 'us' above my kids.
