Where did my life go?

[PEI]

Some of those boundaries aren't Irish's to set though ... ie, the wedding or the games.

I've been there. And it [censored] [<-- why is the word s u c k s censored anyway???] ... but it is what it is, and rest assured the rest of the world does notice, but most of us have been raised to not say anything in those awkward or difficult moments, always the manners eh?

A lot of this process seems unfair. It just does, and you know why? Because it is. So finally, I stopped keeping score. What happens to them, how they live their life, where they go and don't go ... none of it is my business frankly, and it stopped mattering a long time ago.

Took me a long time to let it go. A little more than a year and half ... and I can pinpoint the day I did. December 23, 2011. Some of my friends and family think I'm crazy to have any kind of relationship with OW, but it took way too much emotional energy to keep the hurt fires burning. My life is good, and full, and happy. I am a very lucky woman.

Anyway ... all of that to say, it ain't fair Irish, it just isn't. And yes, boundaries are super important, but unfortunately they're not always ours to set. Better to keep pushing yourself towards healing and peace (and yes, I know this is harder to do when she's in your face all the time) so that one of these days you'll just chuckle when they do something stupid.
