I happened to be on the phone with my mother as I read the OP .. and so juggling the details a little I asked her ... "Mummy, if anyone asked you to choose between them and your children, what would you ahve said to them?" Mother laughed for a bit .. then coughed "Oh .. that was a serious question ... ahh ... I thought you were taking the piss" "Well darling," she said "If anyone other than your Father asked me to chose between my children and them ... I would tell them to take a running jump." ... she continued ... "And if your father, the man I have been married to for 40 years, who I have weathered trial and tribulation with and made cross-country house moves for his jobs, living off tinned prunes for weeks at a time while he published, moving to the back arse of rural nowhere to be near his head office ...the man I have loved passionately for 45 years ... If he asked me to choose between him and our 4 children, even though you are all grown up, moved away, have your own husbands, wives and children. Except you Dear, now really .. when are you going to find a nice boy and settle down, Cynthia's son the Solictor is doing very well for himself these days you know and almost all that acne clear up ... "Get on with it Mother"... "Well anyway ... If your father asked me to choose ... I would walk out the door and never look back. Any man who asks the object of his affection to choose between him and her children ... isn't worth the backward glance." I was raised safe in the knowledge that one thing will always be at the top of the list ... family. I dont have children ... I just have really annoying snotty nosed, fussy, loud and generally damp niece who can reduce my perfectly ordered flat to a bombsite in a little under 20 minutes. If Gerard Butler Himself turned up and made me choose between reading her bedtime story and re-enacting that bit from 300 ... Mr Flopsy's Big Day Out would win. your Master sounds like the type of guy to pity and move on from ... not break your heart over.
