So much has happened in the course of this year. I left an a very abusive "husband" who was an addict of many kinds, who treated my son and I like a pile of shit and traded us in for video gaming and sex. All of that aside.....

Over the past few months I have been in the process of being diagnosed with cancer to top this all off.

I found out yesterday morning that the docs only found ONE minor thing and it is not in any way shape or form related to leukemia or lymphoma.
I could not be happier! I have my LIFE back!!

I was reflecting on everything last night as I ended my day. Thinking about all of the violence and struggles and worry that I have endured over the past years. NONE of that matters any more!! This whole divorce thing is a temporary condition. This too shall pass, I have already begun to heal, and i have truly learned a VERY BIG lesson in what is and is NOT important in life. Divorce is NOT one of them!! I will survive this too, and I am just so grateful for the blessing of health, happiness, my beautiful son, and wonderful family and friends. Divorce is not the end of the world..... A HUGE thank you to you all for pulling me through this!

Sometimes life has a way of letting us know what really matters.

Your strength is admirable, you should be so proud of your ability to raise your son under such terrible conditions. I look back at the last year and think about how I felt that I would not survive, how I begged the lying, cheating,drug addict to please come home. I now realize that I did this out of fear, fear of starting over, fear of raisning my children alone, fear of what kind of influences he would have my children around. I cannot control his self destructive behavior but I can control how I live my life and how I influence my children with my choices. My children will see that I am providing them with a stable home, that I love them unconditionally, and that I have done everything that I could to keep them safe. I can be proud of that. You can be proud of what you are accomplishing too.

Namaste: that is very good news about the cancer, or lack of it. You have come to a great point in this process we call divorce. The realization that it is not the end, It is just the begining. It is the begining of a new life for you and your son. one without abuse and neglect. It is a liberating feeling isn't it?

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
