This is my boy. He is the world to me. Don't ever ask me to choose between him and anything else because the "anything else" will lose. Every time.
I understand the tension between the conflicting demands on my life. It happens every other weekend when I leave my home with Jed in tow, knowing that he's stressed out. But I try to make the best of the situation because I love "two" very much. It's not easy.
On the other hand, when I feel like there's no room for me in someone's life it's really, really, really easy to walk away. I won't compete. Period.
