Honestly, it was the type of relationship where you really hope you will never see that person ever again. Its not really just about a holiday, I'm struggling to raise 4 kids alone with no help at all from their father, not even CSA that I am entitled too. The holiday isn't just about a holiday, its taking my kids back to the other side of the country to see all their friends & family that we left behind & to spend time with their father. Again, with no help from him to do so. He's even telling me he doesn't want to see them, so who knows if that'll happen.

I don't mind keeping them for the girls, but I'm also wondering whats more important? A piece of metal & a few rocks, or spending time with their father & family.


I still don't think I could wear them if I had them made into something else. The idea makes me feel sick
That is really sad, in the end you have to decide what feels right for you. If selling them is what you need to do there is no shame in that. I cant imagine what it would be like rasing 4 kids alone. If you need the money you do what you have too to get by.
