Please delete if not ok.

You will never get all of me (at the moment). To give all of me now takes away from my kids. It takes away their father, their stability, their constant. I never want them to feel that anyone is more important than them. They are #1. I’m sorry - but for now I can only give some, most or a part of me. Depending on the day, depending on the time. I understand if this is unacceptable to you. But it is what it is. Life is about timing and that’s where I’m at. When will you get more of me? When will you get all of me?
I don’t know, I can’t answer that.
