The year of not my problem

[ClingingToHope]

I had a lot of moments I felt free. I remember XW calling me up and demanding that I stay home from work the next day because one of the daughters was sick.

I told her she could ask, but she couldn't demand.

When she hung up I just smiled because I didn't have to put up with her moods and putting her job above everyone else.

But there will be lots of moments where you pine for ... something that died long ago.

I still struggle with it. Marriage done, finally, six weeks ago.
