So please to hear from you. I'm so happy for you to see that you are doing well. You have grown so much (it took me a while to catch up with you :-)).
My life has been good (few ups and downs and I am ok with that). I lost my dad nearly two years ago and went I went to see him one last time ex had the audacity to wish me a jolly good holidays (because I didn't take the kids with me an he had to look after them).
Since my separation with ex I have been financially a lot more stable and now I can afford once a year to go abroad with friends (holidays abroad that don't include going back to my home country: yeeah !!!)
A few months ago got promoted (something that would have never happened with ex) and it is interesting to see the other side of things.
I have been on dates on and off for the last three years (never made it past date number two). I have a massive issue with trust and to be fair I have been able to see the red flags a lot clearer this time than with ex. So I am in a better position to understand what a healthy relationship should be.
Ex is finally settling ( 4 woman in the space of 3 years!!!) and my kids told him he is getting married to woman number 4.It makes me laugh because it is the same pattern as with me: we got a dog first (like they have done), engaged within 9 months of meeting (10 months for them) and married within two years (there wedding day is their two years anniversary). The only difference is that this time there will be no born children so ex will be able to get the attention he craves sooooo much.
As for the kiddos: one says to me that she prefers the future step-mother to me and the one asked me why did on Earth I married such a nasty man. That is kids for you :-).
