Tell you what, it's going to be fine.

I am everything we all are. I am lonely, angry, bitter at times, a former head of household, a former primary caregiver to children, presently a single parent, a full-time employee, a part-time keeper of myself, a dooer of seemingly everything for everyone, and I live in a world where no one seems to understand that at the end of the day, no matter what, good or bad . . .

It's just me

I take the kids to school. I cook. I clean. I work, I love them like crazy and I get it 1,000 fold in return. And you know what? It sucks, but I love it.

And I've done it twice. In the last six years, divorced with 2 kids, married again, divorced again. It was hard to make a family happen in the first place and even harder to blend one the second time.

But you know what? I'm good. You will be too. If you've made it this far, Im sure you had a good lawyer. Now find an even better therapist. Tell him/her/they what you always wanted to tell the him/her/they you were married to. Don't worry if they can't hear you. Do it for you. You deserve it. You've deserved better for the better part of your marriage.

We will get through this. I will get through it yet again. I feel no shame in putting my best effort into what I believed in, but let's all discover that unknown piece of ourselves that held us back. Let's set ourselves free.

Also if we get married again we should get a prenup.

And also try not to marry another childish asshole.

Much love.

Yeah I definitely want someone put together with a steady job and high emotional intelligence, someone calm and steady. I’d rather build myself though honestly. It’s good to see someone with such a positive attitude about it. I go from one emotion to the next. Holidays are rough with this stuff. He even tried to take the ring back for money on Christmas Eve and said again it’s all my fault and I should hate myself. I cried in my room that night and he got the kids. I do not understand much anymore after putting everything I had into our life. I got mad at times and was insecure at times. I was getting better though. Hopefully, life will be alright. Something peaceful after a life of insane stuff due to the men I choose to attach to. Time to not do that anymore. Failing in myself. I hope you get that peace as well. I hope everyone gets it.
