@SeriousDeviant @MamaJones__ - She didn't want to put everything on him at once, this was what caused him to hit rock bottom in the first place.

[Gladys Jones @Imperfect_Jones]

@SeriousDeviant @MamaJones__ - grazed along her bare skin, he really was in need of a good shower and clean up immediately.

"I love you too."

The words finally spilling from her brims, F.P was actually stepping himself up; Gladys was impressed.

" I'll pick up the kids, you just focus on yourself."

[Gladys Jones @Imperfect_Jones]

@SeriousDeviant @MamaJones__ Gladys could see how much he was trying to keep this family together, it was very much appreciated and was grateful for the effort he was making.

She had missed his embrace so much, it had been years since they had truly felt a connection with one another. His stubbled beard -

[Gladys Jones @Imperfect_Jones]

@SeriousDeviant @MamaJones__ - anything about her life. She was proud of the family they had created, she just wasn't pleased with how they ended up.

[Gladys Jones @Imperfect_Jones]

@SeriousDeviant @MamaJones__ It was quite pleasant how peaceful the house was in this small moment the couple were having, there were no fights filling the white noise. You could hear a pin drop by how silent the room was, she knew it wouldn't last long with the kids return. But she wouldn't change -

[Gladys Jones @Imperfect_Jones]

@SeriousDeviant @MamaJones__ - the top of his head, exhaling a sigh. Combing her digits through his soft hair.

Letting it fall silent between the two of them, she had nothing more to say.

[Gladys Jones @Imperfect_Jones]

@SeriousDeviant @MamaJones__ It was the least Gladys could do to give him one day like he wished. He was a mess and if staying one more day would help him get his act together than who was she to break his heart even more.

"One more day...."

Her tone soft and soothing, letting her chin rest against the -

[Gladys Jones @Imperfect_Jones]

@SeriousDeviant @MamaJones__ -
"My parents don't live too far away, just a bus journey away."

Trying to make the best out of a bad situation, she hoped her words would calm him just even a little.

[Gladys Jones @Imperfect_Jones]

@SeriousDeviant @MamaJones__ - this?

"Don't make this harder than it already is, I - I've never stopped loving you but what am I suppose to do? Continue with you sleeping on the sofa? This isn't a marriage."

Gladys laid her hand across his rough callused hands, caressing his skin with her thumb.

-

[Gladys Jones @Imperfect_Jones]

@SeriousDeviant @MamaJones__ That was the moment Gladys' heart broke in two, seeing F.P break down; become so fragile. This was a side Gladys would never thought she'd have to see.

She avoiding eye contact,she couldn't bare to look into those deep dark saddened orbs. How was she suppose to leave him like -

[Gladys Jones @Imperfect_Jones]

@SeriousDeviant @MamaJones__ - gliding through her freshly cleaned hair.

"Maybe if I move in with my parents for a couple months see how things go...improve our relationship."

Gladys hadn't seen her husband this upset ever, but she had to go with her gut feeling on this. Do what was best for everyone.

[Gladys Jones @Imperfect_Jones]

@SeriousDeviant @MamaJones__ Gladys knew the struggles FP faced with relationships, growing up together there weren't many secrets between the two of them.

"I don't know what to believe anymore F.P, you say these things but when are you actually going to do something about it?"

Her slender digits -

[Gladys Jones @Imperfect_Jones]

@SeriousDeviant @MamaJones__ - must we continue with acting like everything is ok? Maybe some time apart would - would do us both some good."

This was it, the end. It was only a matter of time, F.P was a drunken mess. Their marriage had been suffering since JB was born.

[Gladys Jones @Imperfect_Jones]

@SeriousDeviant @MamaJones__ Gladys did believe it was the right move, no just for her but also for their children. Sinking her top row of teeth into her lips, she tried her best to hold back the emotions flooding through her thoughts.

"I've given you too much time to sort yourself out, how much longer -

[Gladys Jones @Imperfect_Jones]

@SeriousDeviant @MamaJones__ - want to be drowning in debt.

"I - I can't do this anymore Forsythe."

Her voice breaking through the sentence, it was difficult to say; but it had to be said.

[Gladys Jones @Imperfect_Jones]

@SeriousDeviant @MamaJones__ Gladys let out a loud huff of annoyance, how many more promises would he not follow through with?

"You can say no to her, you're the parent here."

Gladys began thinking if all of this was worth it, she obviously didn't believe a word Forsythe was saying. The mother didn't -

[Gladys Jones @Imperfect_Jones]

@SeriousDeviant @MamaJones__ ~ bring false hope to Gladys - but now his children.

Why was she putting her children through this? It was cruel; they deserve better.

The frustration was building, her frame sat against the rustic couch. No words would escape from her brims as she sat in silence.

[Gladys Jones @Imperfect_Jones]

@SeriousDeviant @MamaJones__ Gladys knew better than to raise any hopes about Forsythe getting his act together, there was no way he was going to change; it was the sad truth.

"You promised her icecream? How do you expect to pay for that, we barely have food in the refrigerator"

Not only was her husband ~

[Gladys Jones @Imperfect_Jones]

@SeriousDeviant @MamaJones__ - her finger; at least most of the time.

[Gladys Jones @Imperfect_Jones]

@SeriousDeviant @MamaJones__ - causing a scene this time?”

Their daughter was a challenge, more so than any other child. But I guess given the circumstances at home she was a child acting out for attention. She was always favored F.P over her and it was rather obvious that she had her father wrapped -
