I'm Leaving Your Father And That's Just How It Is Poem by Ramona Thompson

I'm so sorry to have to do this at the holidays

More than anything in the world I wish I could spare your feelngs



Lost any love I had for him long ago

Every moment I stay now is just more fresh hell

And that is quite honestly what I am no longer willing to take

Very deeply depressed I have been way too long now

I just can't and won't take it anymore

No, not even if you beg me

God knows I have held on far too long as it is



You don't know what he's really like

Oh son, he has always been your hero and my zero

U are better off not living this lie anymore and so am I

Rather you agree right now or not



Father of the year maybe

A perfect loving husband not so much

That's the sad, twisted truth of the matter

However bad we all may wish to deny it

Every moment we have lived for the last 16 years has been a complete and total lie

Romance and love you saw was only a smokescreen



All my heart on the line I swear to you that I did my very best

Never ever meant to let you down

Doubt never that your mother loves you and always will



The years spent have just taken far too much of a toll

Harsher and harsher he has grown until I simply could not take it anymore

Assure you that in no way are you to blame to for this

This is just how life sometimes works out

Sad but true



Just got to learn to pick up the pieces and move on

U can do it I know

Show the world how tough and bright you really are

This ain't gonna hold you back!



Here's a toast to you my son and your amazing inner strength

Onward do not be afraid to carry on

Whatever from this moment on happens



If he gives you any trouble just let me know and I'll come running

The man may sicken me but he does not scare me



If you need me I am still here for you always around

So don't despair, baby, when mama says....



I'm leaving your father and that's just how it is
