Monday morning came and I woke up thinking that everything would be fine. My husband had promised me that we would seek marriage counseling today to save our marriage. Things had not been going very well, and we both wanted to save our relationship. He failed to tell me that he had other plans for the morning. He had already made up his mind to leave my daughter and me once and for all. This was the day that dramatically changed our lives forever.
             The baby woke up crying to let me know that she was awake, hungry, and needed her diaper changed. While I was changing her diaper, my husband also woke up. I took the baby into the kitchen to feed her while I waited for my husband to join us. As I prepared her breakfast, I also prepared his usual morning glass of iced tea. While I fed the baby breakfast, I could hear the live audience applauding on the television set in the background, as the Today show broadcasted live from the streets of New York. I knew that I had heard him get out of bed a few minutes ago, but I could not understand why he hadn't joined us in the kitchen yet. I got up from the table and went into the bedroom to see what he was doing.
             As I walked through the door to the bedroom, I could not believe what I saw. He was packing up all of his clothes. I asked, "What are you doing?" He looked at me with angry eyes and replied, "I am moving out, I didn't want to tell you until today, but this is what I had planned on doing all weekend long." I choked back the tears, not able to understand why he was leaving. He promised me that we would make our marriage work. Now he was telling me that he wants out and was getting out right now. He proceeded to tell me that he had met someone else and that he was very happy with her. He also stated that he was not ready to be a husband not a father, and that he was too young to deal with both a marriage and a family.
             All of his belongin...
