Thank you, I will continue posting as things happen.

For several years I put her happiness over my own. In my world, her and the kids were my #1 priority and I don't even think I was ever in her top 5. Which is sad, but it is what it is. The hardest part for me was recouping my self-worth and accepting that I am better than that. I beat myself up for months on it, thinking "only if..." when in reality I shouldn't have.

I have learned many lessons through out all of this break-up. I realized that the person I was a year ago was NOT who I wanted to be, nor should I have allowed it to happen. Instead I decided to be someone better, someone happy.

It is official, that J is my girlfriend now. We stepped up the relationship and I am quite happy about it. We click. We are both a little insecure at times, but luckily it hasn't put too much stress or pressure on us. For the first time in a while, I am actually happy.

As for the ex, she is not. She is still angry. She is still miserable. She has gotten so odd that the person she has become is someone I wouldn't want in my life. If it were not for the kids, then I wouldn't have anything to do with her.
