So I Stay

I can't be the only one.

The only woman who will stay because of the kids.

There's more like me out there; I'm not special.

Are my twins better off with parents who stay married, albeit in a loveless union?

My first thought is no.

But.

I'm too proud.

I can't swallow my pride.

I don't want them to know I've failed at marriage.

So I stay.
