It is now almost 2 years since bomb drop...

2 years ago today I was happy... Our family was happy and together... And even though my W seemed stressed and sometimes zoned out, she still expressed love for me and seemed like she was still invested in "us"... Life seemed good...

I had no idea that the MLC hurricane was about to hit our lives full force in just a couple of months...

22 months ago my world turned upside down and became insane...

22 months ago my dreams were shattered... I was shattered

12 months ago I was just a few months into a new life on my own as a single parent (sharing custody 50/50)... But I was still broken...

Today I am better... Still a bit broken but continually healing as I continue to process and understand what happened, who I am, what I need, and what I need to do to help my children have the best possible life inspite of what this MLC has done to us.

My exW is definitely still in reply and, as far as I can tell, nowhere near ready to see the damage caused... She is no longer a spewing monster, but she still has so incredibly far to go (if she ever chooses to move forward out of where she is right now)... But that's not my concern anymore.

I also know without a doubt that this was supposed to happen... It has been painful and so difficult, but I am proud of who I am becoming as a result of everything that I have gone through and that I continue to go through on this journey.
