Promises I am making to myself:
No more mind reading--or trying to read him at all.
I will just assume that every word, action, silence is all part of his game playing and I will not pay it any mind.

I will accept what is--for now.
Keeping my focus on my goals for how this should turn out is not serving me well, it is only making me frustrated and impatient. I just have to accept that this is my life right now. And it will get better. Just not on my timeline. I know what I want, I am losing hope that I will get it. But eventually it will get better than how it is right now. And right now--I can make the best of it. I just have to give up trying to change things right now because it is completely out of my hands. I am dealing with an unreasonable person, and a slow and inefficient legal system.
Patience Mustardseed--Patience.

I will be confident in who I am and the choices I make.
Too often I let other people sway me. I worry about what they think. I give away my power too easily, open up to others too quickly, and leave myself open to criticism. And then I take it in and start doubting myself. No more. I know I am coming from a place that is good, and fair, and honest. I know that I have integrity. Just because people try to spin it, or think they have a right to impose their judgment on what I do, doesn't change the fact that I have the truth on my side.
