Moving On To The Bright Side 2

[Dawn70]

Thanks guys......I know there is nothing I can do and saying anything will only make it worse. My girls don’t know anything different and I certainly don’t want to make it awkward for them. I guess today is one of those days where I don’t feel as though I am shining, it feels like she gets to do whatever she wants with no consequences, and her life just continues on without skipping a beat, essentially getting everything she wants. I know it’s not all not necessarily true but it really [censored].

J9....I swear our ex spouses must have been twins. My XH wanted to divorce me (totally out of left field, totally his idea, never saw it coming, only found out a good bit after the fact that he'd had someone else all along) then wanted ME to tell people it was mutual. His reasoning to me for that was so that people wouldn't talk about it because he wanted everything to be private, but to me the obvious reason was because he didn't want to look like a douche and have people figure out he'd slept around on me, which they did anyway, because of HIS actions immediately following our divorce. In the months after our divorce, he wanted to whine to me about how hard his life was, how much he missed me and his family and all that crap. Uh it's a no from me, dude.....you dumped me, so get on with your life. He skipped right on into life with his cheating partner and they are now married. The only real satisfaction I have is that HIS daughters who still consider ME their stepmother, hate his new wife, but he's oblivious to it, like he's right where he's meant to be and enjoying life. Sometimes I just want to punch him.............

Hang in there J9....I promise, it DOES get better. Almost 4 years post D, I'm living my BEST life and he's a distant memory.
