The start of something... new (again)

[trumpet]

My EX-WW's mom and dad both had parents who were alcoholics. My ex-MIL has big weight issues, and had gastric bypass when my EX-WW was a kid. Put a lot of it back on. She is/was a do-gooder, but at the same time, really liked to put others down. My EX-WW had a very angry time with her mom, and lots of emotional abuse, dealing with the weight issue. My EX-WW had a molestation in grade school, and was raped in college. She had dozens of boyfriends. It was all a way to medicate and deal with life. She even bragged in college of dumping every boyfriend at the 3 month mark. Infatuation, lots of sex, then dump.

I was the anomaly. I actually cared about her on a deeper level. We had a shared religious belief structure. It lasted 16 years. It was great. She has a journey to embark on after her OM flames out... which should, given the PA track record around here.

I have my own journey now. The D is final, and I have some healing to do. Forgiveness for her will come in time.
