Suitcase Packed Daddy

Where is Daddy going with that big suitcase Mummy Is he going to the shops To buy you the biggest bunch of flowers and box of chocs And hopefully when he is there get me a lucky packet and a Barbie Because I heard you both having a monumental blazing row Never you mind my pretty little head my Angel My most precious above all and everything Mummy doesn't actually want you to know That he is in actual fact leaving us behind for good For some or other new women he met just recently online Looks as if our once upon a time happy marriage Is now heading for an acrimonious divorce So no lucky packet for you And Sadly no box of chocs , roses or happy ending it looks like For either or either of us either Apart from him I just hope it doesn't effect you too much And you eventually get weaponized and used as a means To hurt each other even more in the end

I had a huge lump in my throat especially at the end "I just hope it doesn't effect you too much And you eventually get weaponized and used as a means To hurt each other even more in the very end" all too often kids are used against the other parent - sad on so many levels Christopher. hugs jan xx

Hello Christopher Flaherty, divorce is what it sounds like to me. Many marriages break up in divorce with or without children. Life, Blessings, my friend. /Darlene\

Hello Christopher, yes true love does not last. My husband fell out of love for me. Whereas my love for him was strong. Until he cheated on me .One partner faithful the other was not. He passed 7 years ago. Your friend /Darlene\ Until he cheated on me. One partner faithful the other is not. He got very sick and passed. I am a widow of 7 years now
