“Dear Lisa and Travis,

I want you both to know that this decision was not made out of anger but out of necessity. I can no longer be a part of an arrangement rooted in expectation and resentment. I love you both dearly, but I must find a way to live with dignity, where I am valued not for what I can give financially, but for who I am as a person.

Travis, I hope you understand that life’s true worth isn’t found in material things, but in the love and respect you give and receive. Lisa, my daughter, I hope you remember the warmth of family that we once shared and find it in your heart to revisit those values.
