QUOTE : I knew he needed to get out of Connecticut, but couldn’t he see what he was doing to our family? It was bad enough that Mom and Dad were divorced. <br /><br />Still, Mom and Jeff and I managed to seem like a little family. If Jeff left, it would be hard to think of Mom and me as a family. <br /><br />I love my mom, but I knew that the two of us were going to feel like the ends of a loaf of bread, with all the other slices gone. I wanted at least one more slice. And Mom was going to let it go.
