Sweetheart.

You are 19 years old and have your whole life ahead of you.

I don't agree with your age difference at all, and I'm saying this as someone with a partner 15 years my senior. But I'm 40. We're both entire ass adults.

You are practically a child.

However. I will not dwell on your age difference. What I will address us that this literal man is trying to make you put your entire life on hold for him, to care for his daughter.

He's trying to control and alienate you so that you have nothing to fall back on and have to count on him.

I've been there. It wasn't pretty. I wish someone had warned me.

I won't tell you to leave him, to run, screaming, in the other direction. But I will tell you, continue your life. Go to school. Take care of YOU.
