SO...
I finally did it.
I walked.
I am on my way to becoming a divorcee.
I have
rented an apartment. It is in the ‘theater district’ (which sounds very chic
and fabulous—meh-not so much) but it is safe and is walking distance to work. I
expect it will be somewhat lonely at first, since I have never actually lived
alone before.
I also I believe I will
work through some of my biggest fears there.
A new place
to forge a new beginning.
The only
things I have going for me are the things that are going to give me the
security and peace of mind I need—my dauntless nature and warrior heart. These
are going to carry me through this unfamiliar and uncharted territory.
And my
friends.
I’ll not make it without them
by my side for a while.
It’s amazing
how quickly one finds out who their friends really are when the shit hits the
fan. In some of their defense though, I
completely dropped off the grid within 24 hours. No Facebook, a new cell phone number, a new
address (but am staying with a friend until I take possession of the
apartment). I was on a self-imposed
no-contact hiatus from everything and everyone except my kids and a few select others.
It was
necessary. The few snippets of
negativity I ran into as I was going underground were enough to reinforce my
decision.
So here’s to
starting over.
Good luck! Use blogging to vent, celebrate, or whatever!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ryan. I expect it will be a little of everything. There's a lot coming up it's going down!! Woop woop! Just sayin'... :-)
ReplyDeleteIt will all work out. Pain will fade, memories will soften, and eventually you'll forgot completely about where you hid his body.
ReplyDeleteI personally wouldn't take Advisors "advice" and kill the father of your children. But that's just me:-P
ReplyDeleteBesides. I have decorating ideas for your new place;-)
Not for nothing, but I think he meant your body...just sayin'
DeleteGood luck on the next chapter in your life. Wishing you luck in your future.
ReplyDeleteAdvizor...it has been surprisingly amicable so far. No shovels necessary. And yes, everything will work out just as it's meant to. Thank you :-)
ReplyDeleteTripp, you know better than most just how ridiculous that would be, especially from me. My children's father is perfectly safe. As for your interior decorating...I suggest you wait to see how little space you'll be working with. LOL! Love you!
ReplyDeleteW--thank you for the well wishes. Much appreciated :)
