It's been a difficult past few months for me and I have stayed away because it is too difficult to see pictures and read about Cavaliers. I know many of you will think I'm a horrible person for walking away but after many sleepless nights and tears, I felt in my heart it was the best thing to do.
My ex and I separated. Jace and Caden were like children to us both, they were my heart. There were many factors in the ultimate decision but it boiled down to it being best for them to go with him. He works a very flexible sales job so they basically spend all day with him and are never alone; I was relocating to Virginia with no idea what my job or living situation would be. Beyond that, Caden developed a fierce attachment to him and would be pretty destructive when the ex would leave town. Jace was pretty attached to me, not to that extent, but the ex said he would not separate them over his dead body. And I knew he meant it. Even if I had thought I could take them both, he would have literally taken me to court.
I miss them terribly every day and have to make a conscious effort to not think about them so I don't break down and cry ALL the time.
Has anyone else ever been faced with this decision? I now understand why people have pre-nups, and include the animals in them.
