a good bad day, you know?
I had a good bad day today - has anyone else had one lately they wanna share?
It was the kind that reminds you how strong you are. Someone forwarded me shots of my STBXHs FB where he posted things like:
"ugh cant wait to c my ex in court that was supposed to be my birthday present. i get to display pics of her whoring it up with like 6 different guys (the ones I have pics of) and hopefully watch her family disown her again like last time"
{note, i dont know what he's talking about and I suspect this is just blowing smoke for his fb friends since I never did that. I wonder who these 6 guys are? I must be so sneaky that I dont even know about it!}
"got my house back. Life is good. BTW if anyone needs a couch the one my ex cheated on me on is on the front porch feel free to take it"
"the resilience of children amazes me. my son walks into his home and finds out the woman he was coming to love ran out on him for other men and stole his pets and pictures. without a second's hesitation he forgives and asks how deep his loss will be. He moves on. I wish we all healed so well. His behavior is my example"
{this one is most sickening. I did not leave my precious stepson for another man - I haven't been in a relationship since I left my husband, left him for breaking my nose and beating me senseless over and over. My 5 year old stepson knows this because he was in my arms when his dad did it. I stole no pets or pictures, and if the forgiveness is my STBXHs example he's doing a poor job showing it. I miss that little boy like hell and I worry what his father is telling him.}
But other than feel bummed for a bit, all I did was forward it on to my lawyer and get back to work. Yeah me.
Re: a good bad day, you know?
Ugg. That sounds awful. Mine isn't nearly so serious, but this guy who I really thought was the one, we've had mutual feelings for each other for about 8 years, but nothing really worked out do to where we were living, etc, until it had been for the last five months or so. Then Saturday night he totally dumped me out of the blue and was unnecessarily mean about it.
I spent all day yesterday super upset and crying really hard. It was awful and I didn't know how I was going to make it through. But by this afternoon I actually feel really great. Like I know it's totally over and I can close a chapter on my life. I think I was really holding back from dating others because he was always kind of lurking in the background you know? And I would always wonder if it would work out with him.
I'm still a little sad, but at the same time feel really free. I'm no longer anxious if he will call, or if things are working out. It's kinda nice.
good for you!
Sounds like a shiitty deal but in the end I'm glad you're free of him.
Wow, life is hard.
