It sucked to have to ask Weston to help me, but it's all part of why I left. There were numerous issues that caused me to leave, but two of them were the most serious. One had to do with my family, another with my health. I don't know how long I'm going to be able to hide this from Weston or even if I want to. Hiding things from him is how I got into the situation I'm in now. But I don't want him to keep me around because he's so sorry for me. That's the last thing I want.
Moving through the house, I grab everything I think I'll need so that when he comes home, we can leave. It's weird knowing that if I had stayed with him, this could be my home too.
A home is really all I've ever wanted. But when I got my diagnosis and after I went to talk to my family about it, I realized that staying with him would have hurt us both even more than my leaving did.
