Brief exchange with the she yesterday. She snapped out about something for no apparent reason and made me feel bad for a few minutes. Par for her course. It was just a reminder.
I don't miss her (I'm repulsed).
I don't miss being married.
I don't miss domestic life.
I put up with this for too long.
I am free to be me.
I am blossoming inside.
I will be who I am.
I am discovering my own light and the light in others.
I am writing my own book.
Live. Learn. Love.
Dog.

I can't believe how far I've come around. I hate to say this (and maybe I'll be banned) but it seems for me D was a good thing. Even d said out of the blue yesterday that she "likes things better" the way they are now. Something was wrong for a long time. Kinda like this:
Was she? Who knows but this blurb sure describes how it was. My only thing now is that I feel like a f'in tool for remaining in this for so long. Div should have happened a long time ago. And maybe it should have started with me.

Cut yourself some slack, will ya? Regret and worry are twin thieves that rob us of today. Go back and read your 4/22 post. You are blessed. Today. Now. That's all that matters.

Hey Dog. You sound strong. Quit thinking about it. Keep getting stronger and better, and just focus on O'dog. I'll be real glad when I get to the mentally strong place that you're at now.

One of the things I've realized more and more is that I got absolutely nothing out of my M beginning in January 2007.
No emotional support. No affection. No concern. No help.
Yet I stayed in there and kept pitching.
So when it ends I'll be sad and most likely shed a tear or two. But it will be nice some day to feel like someone is interested in me again. STBXW wasn't for at least four years.
So I hear you O'Dog.
Unfortunately, today was my Divorce Parenting class and it pointed out how kids are damaged by divorce even when things go smoothly. That made me sad and mad again.
