Please Understand

You are outraged over something that you have no control over.
You think I should also be outraged. I was,
but I’ve come to the realization
it was never my decision in the first place.
It was always his. He decided what he needed to do for his life.
Did I agree at the time? Do I agree now?
It doesn’t matter.
I had no say nor should I.
Please,
for your mental health
understand
I am not upset.
He was never going to listen.
I accept that
and
I hope you will too.
