I understand how much it takes to be a parent. we both chose to do this together, and now I'm ending up doing most of it. it takes two to bring a child into the world, for a reason. I know I can be a single mother, I have that strength. but what I don't have is the strength to sit by and be a single mother while you are claiming to be a part of this family. you work, you are tired, you want to play video games, you can't tear your face away from your phone. That is not a parent. That is not a partner. that is a child. you say you want more children, but I can't trust you to take care of our first one with me. I need help. from you. I need understanding. i need my partner back.
