I really don't believe they can, and I would never want to get them involved. I already put them in a terrible position with my bad choices.

I will consider it. They are my world and I want the best for them. I would never put them in the position to have to deal with him. Especially to try and help me. I believe I should be taking care of them, not vice versa. Not one cruel word do they need to hear from him and he has a way to find words that dig into the soul.
