Fizzle Fest!!

Ok, I have now been divorced for approximately 2 1/2 months, and living away from the ex since February. I am feeling my anger toward him fizzle away, though his actions occasionally make that sparkler flare back up! It's so strange to know that 17 years of my life have passed and left me in the single parent lane, but I am starting to enjoy it.

Strange as it sounds, I am ok with my ex marrying his girlfriend, who is about 6 months pregnant now. They are actually getting married later this month, and I am glad. Maybe she will make him into a better person, and for her sake, I hope so. Mostly, I am glad they're getting married because at least my children will feel less bothered by the whole situation. I know it how it sounds, but I am actually seeing the pregnancy as the key that set me free.

So, even though I wouldn't mind him burning his finger on a match or slamming his finger in the car door, I want him to be happy (most of the time)! I am starting to have fun thinking about the great possibilities that lie ahead for me, that would've been unattainable with him. Thanks to a lot of great friendships and powerful words from my emwomen friends, I feel better about myself each day. My angry phase is fizzling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah! Independence Day has multiple meanings, doesn't it???
