THEY DON'T CARE WHY SHOULD WE 

Hello Everyone, I have been very busy getting myself ready for my daughter's wedding, trying to find a job, helping my parents and getting a new grip on my new life without him. 

 

I have read blogs every now and then, felt sorry for many who are going thru a major change in their lives.  I want to say after reading so much sadness:   that the ones that are left behind are doing an injustice to themselves by giving that ex partner the time of day, meaning a single thought. 

 

These folks that left us, are now pursuing a life that has meaning for them without us, do they stop and consider the fallout left behind.....NO!!!! 

 

We pick up the pieces and try our best to move on, we deal with the constant thought of what could have been, we re live the memories of sad or happy times, we need to release these folks from our minds. 

 

I am not saying this is easy to do, but life is short we need to move in a direction to learn a new life without the other. 

 

I am for the new life without him, I am very scared when I think of what I have to face, but I believe there is a purpose for what I just went thru, we can say life is unfair, which it is, and than add to it:   this to shall pass. 

 

I am speaking from my heart, I gave my husband so much control in my mind and my life, it is time to take back the control over my thoughts and focus on ME......and if you have children, make them your ME also, they need you with or without him/her.

It is so hard to separate from the father of your children. 

My ex husband is a self centered, superficial, inconsidrate person.  He had 2 affairs that I can prove and probably at least 2 others.  His affairs were his escape when our life was difficult.  While I tried to avoid bankrupty for our family he had an affair.  While I struggled with medical problems he had another affair and so on.   

But he is still the father of my children and it tugs at my heart .  I would like him to be a good father to them.  I suspect that he is not able to do that.

Like James said, if it were that easy.  I'm trying SO HARD to implement that philosophy.  I'm not only having trouble with the stbx but with the OW also.  She keeps pressuring my girls to try and accept her and is being very intrusive in our lives when she has no right to be.  She emails me regularly, which I no longer respond to, and she is delusional.  I am letting her run my life and I have to learn not to stoop to her level.  I can't believe the type of woman my stbx has allowed into his life and ours but I don't have to let it control me anymore.  My girls are 16 and 20 and can form their own opinions and have much to the other woman's dismay.  They despise her.  Hmmmm, karma....  I pray every day for God to teach me to be strong.  I need to be a better student.  *laugh*

Oh that were just that easy.  My ex was a major part of my life, suddenly that was taken away.  To fill that void just isn't as simple as forgetting it never happened, especially because we have kids which means we are forever linked together.  You are right though, a little less time remembering what used to be and a lot more looking forward to what can be is a much better way to live.  Congratulations to your daughter on the upcoming wedding, may she have the best day ever and a future of wedded bliss.
