Why do I do it? I thought by taking this path, and making them happy, I might garner some measure of happiness myself. I see glimpses of things getting better for them, but the goal posts continue to shift every time I address all of their needs.
I've maintained the charade for over a month now. Forsaking my own joy, health, and sanity all for them. I did so, and never asked for much in return, only for them to maintain the illusion, and to never abandon me.
Now I'm at a crossroad, I can choose to walk away as they fade into obscurity without me. Or I walk the other path, the one that brings it all crashing down and nothing but suffering and misery for all involved.
