JOURNALING:

My recent move to my brother's house was good for me, in that I don't have any unspoken expectations of me that were only causing me needless grief.

Today, I went back to pick up more stuff from where XW's house, the last of it. When I got there, XW took the opporotunity to leave and do some stuff. I no longer listen to what she says she's gonna do because I've found that since we split she is a very adept liar, so...whatever she says she's going to do I just focus on spending time with my children.

Tonight, she went to work and the entire premise of me sticking around was so she could go in to work and she would be back at the 2 hour mark. Sh returned a little over 4 hours later, which was not so much a problem, but the fact that she was that late shows me again that she has no respect for me and my time. What's nice now, though, is that she no longer has a hold on me. I truly let go on April 23, and have had today is the 11th straight of happiness I've enjoyed. Things are moving along for me emotionally, so I have to get my a-- in gear and change my circumstances.
