This is more of a theraputic exercise for me than anything else.
I don't know if anybody will even read it - that really isn't the point.
so here goes....
I am on my own again - thank goodness!!!!
I'm not sure what drove me to jump into a relationship with yet another control freak or even what compelled me to stay in it for 5 years, but I did.
And now I am embarking on a new life on my own and I couldn't be happier, freer, and feel more relaxed.
Life is good!
It may not be easy - in fact I'm pretty much broke right now, but I have a decent job and won't be broke for ever. Actually I may end up in an even better financial situation than I ever could have been with him in the end.
but that's something else for another day.
Other obstacles or challenges
12 year old son with a "stinky" attitude
4 year old daughter that we have to figure out a schedule for - when will he want to see her? Do we set a schedule or let it go willy nilly when it is most convenient for him?
These are things that I didn't have to think about with my other children - their father moved 3000 km away to escape being prosecuted for doing some pretty terrible things - and so the visitation issues were not really there.
Well, that's about it for now.
