Though I have not been in my sitch for longer than a month, I feel so much stronger having made a decision. I am going to live my life without H. He can file for legal sep, he can file for D, none of it will surprise me after all he has put me and our children through. All he wants is for us to be friends. I don't have friends who treat me this way. WAS's are confused and delusional, but where are they for us? Where are they for our children? My D12 and S3 continue to struggle and he just says, well they will get use to it. Whatever makes him sleep at night. At least I can look my children in the eyes and say I tried and that it is not okay for anyone to treat you this way. They will learn strength from me. What will they learn from their daddy? Sorry, I don't know if this will help you. I never wanted to be a statistic, but I will never be my H's trash again. Yes, I feel strong for taking control of my life. You will too!
Good luck!
Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.
