Found Some Strength

I stayed busy today and I'm feeling good... I hope it lasts. I'm tired of the emotional rollercoaster. I am coming to a realization: He has been a douchebag for a long time.. He's not going to change. It doesn't matter what I say or do.. I have no control over him and his stupid decisions. I dont want to let him drag me down with him. I dont want to set a bad example for my kids by staying involved with a cheater. If I stay involved they are going to think cheating is ok and my daughter may end up having low standards because of me. I dont want that. I cant be the best mom I can be when I allow him to abuse me and stress me out. I need to focus on myself, my kids, and school. I can do this. I am strong. I dont need him or the problems that go along with him. It is what it is and I need to fully accept that.

We all just need to hang in here together....one day at a time. Everyone says time is of the essence, but I want off the roller coaster NOW too. Keep for kids the center of your attention and work from that point. My daughter is already older, out on her own, but kids are wonderful motivators!!! Acceptance sucks huh? But, as you said "it is what it is".............and they are what they are.......assholes, undeserving, selfish, disrespectful serial cheating jerks! Glad you had a good day, keep your head up. Smile and hugs.

    I'm horrified!  I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000.  I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter.  I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change.  Now this!  I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000.  I guess I have to pay...

    We all have 24 hours in a day.  How we spend these hours is important.  Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do.  Gonna have to work on that.Your turn.  Tell me another truth.
