Januarv 7. 200 I
Dear Ron.
I have decided to write you this letter so that I can be sure I say everything I want to say.
Emotions tend to run a little high when we talk face to face. and I wanted to make sure I
explained myself completely. I don't want there to be any misunderstandings.
First of all, I want to say how happy I am that you have started to date. I really do want
you to be happy. The kids seem to like her. The best thing for our kids is for both of their
parents to be happy. I know if we continue working together, we will always keep our
kids happy.
I do also want to mention something else. I want you to know that my leaving you had
nothing to do with Tony. I know what you are thinking and you are wrong. As you
know, Tony and I have been friends for over 12 years now. He is a very nice guy, and if
the sitnation were different, you would probably like him The kids certainly do. I hope
you know that I would never do anything that wasn't good for these kids. Tony is an
excellent father. lfyou were to meet Summer, and see how wonderful she is, you would
see the proof He was so terrific with our kids. He played with them, he taught them
things, he was patient with them. When Nicole woke up crying with an ear ache in the
middle of the night, he really stepped up and took care of her. But, I want to assure you
that even though we have been friends for a long time, our relationship did not turn
romantic until after I filed for divorce.
"
I know I told you that I wasn't interested in getting involved with another man because I
wouldn't be able to trust anyone with the kids. Well, I was wrong. Knowing Tony the
way I do, and for as long as I have, and seeing how awesome Summer is and how much
she loves him and he loves her. And most of all, watching him interact with our three
kids, has convinced me that he is most trustworthy. I want you to believe that so that you
never have to worry about the kids. In fact, just the opposite. Tony would be a very
stable, happy influence on them, and on me. He really is a great guy. I am telling you all
of this because Tony and I have become more serious than I had anticipated. Over the
holidays, he asked me to marry him. I said yes, and the kids are very happy about it
Obviously, with the situation being what it is, that won't happen any time soon. But, I
would like to move out there with the kids when the ,school year is over. That will give us
plenty of time to spend together before we get married. This way, all 6 of us will know
it's the right thing,
I assure you that I am not trying to take the kids from you. You will always be their
father, and they will always love you. I will make sure that they still get to see you. In
fact, we were hoping that you too may want to re-locate yourself to California and start a
new life. I know you have always wanted to move somewhere warmer. If you did that,
we could keep the same custody arrangements. If you decide not to move, we will have
to work out other arrangements.
I. _~
_d
,'-"' m
.
I already have a very good job lined up, working from home. I \\i.ill have the flexibility of
going into the kids classes and being home on their days off I will be doing administrative
work, which means no more dirty diapers. I will be making more money, working less
hours, and have much more time for the kids. Which, you know is very important to me.
I have sat down with the kids on numerous occasions to discuss this with them. And they
are very excited about the move. Of course, they would love it if you were to move there
too. They truly loved Tony and Summer. And they are truly excited about living in
California and making new friends. There are tons of children for them to play with and
make friends with. They will be going to a very good school, in a very safe area.
You have told me on numerous occasions that you still love me, and that you always \\'ill.
Well, if you meant it, you will love me enough to let me go and fet me be happy. Love me
enough to allow me to have the happiness I need and deserve. Love your kids enough to
re-Iocate yourself to California too. What would be keeping you in PA? I want so much
for us to be able to get past all of this and become mends down the road. I know that we
both want what is best for our kids. And I have done everything in my power to support
your new life with your new girlfriend. I have only had positive things to say about her to
the kids. I hope, for the kids' sake, that you will do the same for me. You would only be
hurting them by putting down our move and our new life. They need to feel happy and
secure about the whole thing. And you can help with that. And maybe, we really will be
friends, working together to raise happy kids.
,
I am very sorry if this letter upsets you. I truly don't want that to happen. Like I said
before, I would love for you to end up as happy as I am right now. If after reading this
letter, you have any questions, please feel free to write or calL I would be glad to help
ease your mind any way I can.
Take care of yourself,
Tina
