Karen: I find myself just feeling dislike with a tinge of anger for him. I usually think I'm kind of in the same place as a lot of us here, but I don't think I feel the same toward him as y'all, I mean as you guys feel about your WAS. Hopefully the dislike will lessen eventually, rather than increase like it has for me lately???
We have both been at this for about the same time December 2007, what a crappy December that was. It looks like your WAS filed for D just a month before mine, so our timeline is about the same. I have notice that I'm less angry than I was initially, I just think my anger has leveled off. Dislike is a good word, I dislike my WAS (for a number of reasons I don't need to go into) I don't know if that dislike will ever go away. My WAS is someone I don't want to be around, don't want to talk to, is not someone I would turn to for help in anyway.
I believe as time goes by we will move on; keep ourselves busy; meet some new significant other; begin building our lives as single parents, we will forget more and more about them, they will pop up occasionally to annoy us, but we will be less and less inclined to let them bother us, because we'll have better things to think about.
