Hi Maika. Great to hear from you! Glad you are doing well. I hear you about disliking your ex. I’m trying to like mine but he makes it tough sometimes. He’s borderline rude when I see him in person. It’s nothing he says, it’s just his energy towards me. It’s hard to explain but it feels like he has somehow turned things around in his mind so that I am the bad guy in our situation which is so the opposite to reality. But I guess one has got find a way to look in the mirror and that’s how he does it. No matter. You can still coparent with someone if you put your kids first. He spent years doing the opposite of that but he seems to be somewhat trying now. Ah well…
Sorry about the horrific details you mentioned. I hope your kids are okay and moving forward.
Fingers crossed you are able to get to the gym soon and kick the smoking habit for good. (((HUGS)))
