Not perfect, but happy!

I stayed in a toxic marriage for years with someone who always made me feel beneath him. I was never worthy enough in his eyes. He had no respect for me, most of the time...I don't even think he respected himself. I thought by staying with my narcissistic cheating husband, it was best for my kids because I was keeping our family together...but it wasn't. It was slowly tearing me apart inside, the emotional and mental abuse I endured caused me to smile on the outside, but slowly die on the inside. I was losing my love of life, but GOD!
There was a better and brighter day ahead. I was surprised how much my older three children wanted their father and I to divorce, they said they knew I wasn't happy and it was then I knew it was okay...I was going to be okay and I am. I am finally living my best life. All the dreams he crushed, are now coming true. Doors have opened and life is amazing! It is said that God won't bring you so far, just to leave you and that is so true! Not only am I still standing, but I am standing tall and my smile is even bigger! But if you've seen my teeth, you'd smile too, they are gorgeous! :)

You Lost Me...I Found Me...

This was probably my greatest accomplishment this year...walking away completely. Our divorce was officially finalized and I was allowed true happiness. No more insults, put downs, explaining to young kids why daddy was yelling and punching holes in the wall. No more feeling I wasn't good enough, no more sleepless nights...I can finally go into a new year at peace. Looking forward to 2017. I made it!

Just another night with the wasband and I

So yesterday was the first, so that is day the wasband really can't stand me since he has to give me a check. Since our divorce our words have become less and less friendly, which is sad, since we have known each other for over 17 years. So this was last nights convo... Wasband: Have my receipt ready, I am on my way He arrives, I am writing out his receipt Wasband: When are you changing your name? Me: I'm not, the kids are still in school, so it's easier to keep it. Don't worry, you can marry her and she can take your name, it's no big deal. Wasband:  You dropped something So I look down on the ground, turn around in circles, I see nothing. Me: I don't see anything, I don't have a clue what you could be talking about. Wasband: I'm going to back up and shine the lights on it. Walk by the basketball goal, look down. Me: There is nothing there. I can't see a thing. Then the light bulb in my head went on, I see what is going on now. Wasband

Marriage is Teamwork!

One spouse cannot build a marriage alone when the other spouse is committed to destroying it. Marriage works when both husband & wife work together as a team to build their marriage. Teammates do not compete against each other; they complement each other.   Teammates do not pull each other down; they encourage & support each other. Teammates do not fight in the opposites direction; they face the same direction & fight the same opponent together. Marriage teamwork is not about me; it's about us, we & ours. There is no greater example of teamwork than husband & wife. Hand in hand together, let every couple work together for the success of their marriage. Marriage is not a solo performance, it's a duet.
