Well my divorce was finalized on March 10, 2022 and then he brought his girlfriend out into the open. She was born the year we got married (32 now so she was 28 when he left me). She’s a tiny redhead and has a now 11 year old son that calls my ex “dad”. She and her son moved in with my ex in august. My now 17 year old daughter then moved in with me. Her bedroom is in my living room but she’s doing better here. All 3 kids live with me.

My ex overnight wanted to do a happy blended family but the kids don’t like his girlfriend. She’s one of those bubbly, pushy types and she’s trying to be my kids mom. My ex is being a super dad and for that I’m actually grateful. He bought both girls cars and gives them money.

She quit her job and is now a homemaker. I’m doing okay considering but it was hard seeing he went younger. She’s a lot like the old me so he got a do over.

He’s still drinking a lot and is never home (she got my old life lol). He’s still working 2 jobs and has started selling his plasma. It’s killing him that the kids won’t go over there much anymore. The girlfriend took over the house and is always there.

There is good in my life in that I’m stronger now. I’m no longer a doormat people pleaser which is awesome. I love my job and we moved into a brand new building where I have a beautiful view of woods. There is a lot of deer which is cool.

Well that’s it. I’m still healing but I’ve come a long way.
