Made it Through Another Day 

Well - I made it through another day without calling him.  I have a new mantra - which is "I will not allow myself to be hurt."  I have to face the fact that I was prolonging the pain by staying engaged with my stbxh.   I wanted to keep him in my life so I was opening myself up to hurt over & over. 
Yesterday really does feel like I hit the bottom and saw just how much I was allowing myself to get hurt.  I also saw that I just do NOT have anything in reserve.  I am spent - like Kramer said "Stick a fork in me - I'm done."  I just cannot do it anymore.  I have been so fractured by what has happened and my willingness to continue this crazy dance.
But - here it is midnight and I didn't crumble.  I stayed strong and probably sang my mantra 1000 times.  Hey - whatever works!

Wow, You go Girl. Fantastic and very proud of you.

It's not easy and sometimes it seems it's never going to get easier, BUT just take each day as it comes and keep putting one foot in front of the other. There is light at the end of that very long tunnel!!!

Huge hugs coming your way. XO
