Had a pretty good day, all in all.

Feeling good - got all but one assignment finished! I had a visit from my STBX sis-in-law and bro-in-law..they were stopping by to pick up some child support papers I had helped fill out for my bro in law. I still am very close with my sis-in-law, she is one of my best friends, but I can't help but wonder if somewhere down the road I will need to part ways with her because of the situation. She is like a mother to my STBX, since their own mother passed away about 9 years ago, and my SBTX was the baby and his mom's favorite. I guess that's why he expected me to act as a mother and do absolutely everything for him. Anyway, I handed her over my cell phone because he bought it for me and he was paying the bills..I told her I didn't want it anymore and to please give it to him. I'm surprised he didnt have it shut off by now anyway. I will get my own phone. I don't need anything from him. It didn't even bother me to hand it over..it actually felt good..now he has nothing over me.

I am so proud of myself..I havent even thought of calling him and every thought I have had the past few days has been about how I KNOW I will never ever return to that life with him. It was truly terrible. I will never play slave to anyone again. Whoever is lucky enough to have me as theirs will respect me and love me just the way I will them.

Well, started off the day not knowing if I would smile...and I have been smiling all day!

And thanks to my new gal pals who I have so much in common with!
