Feeling better than ever!!

I must say I feel great today and everyday from now on.  I think my ex-family have gotten the message now to leave me alone.  Not going to take anymore of their BS. It is in the past and I try not to think of them much.  At times it's hard but I try to distract myself into thinking about something else.
I am now focusing on my family meaning my children and husband.  I create the life I want and that life has on room for people I love and love me back.  Must say it such a liberating thing to say.  I feel everyday I tend to enjoy life to the fullest.  As long as I don't allow bad thoughts get into my head I feel I can conquer anything.
We are planning a family vacation, landed a job that I really wanted, and best of all I have love all around me.  Wish love and happiness to all.

My daughter turned 3 instead of being happy all I was feeling was alot of anxiety. Don\'t get me wrong I did manage to give her a great birthday by taking her to fair type park. She really enjoyed it made her a Sponge Bob cake and played games.

The problem lies here. We usually get both sides of the family call even if I wasn\'t taking to them. My 8 year old says out loud \"Hey I\'m suprised no-one called.\" my husband responds \"Thanks to your mom.\" Am I supposed get angry or brush it off. Well, I was angry for a bit and then said to myself that I would not let stupid remarks like that bother me. Because I know who to blame for this it is my family not me. Yes, I am playing the blaming game because for too long I have been treated like crap and just had it.

This morning I woke up and said to myself what were you supposed believe happen that they would call and everything will be normal. I made it clear I wanted nothing to do with both families and I got my wish. So why sad I should be happy right? Yes, I am happy and going to enjoy our family vacation we will have a wonderful time. Focusing on my husband and kids and that is it. People that want to become part of my life can do so. I will not beg anyone to be my friend or family.

Have you talked to H about his comment? Because stuff like that over time can be abusive too. I would encourage you to nip that in the bud, esp around the kids.

Otherwise, good on you for the new job, vacation, etc. It\'s nice to see you happy!

Thanks hun, Yes, I did went back and told him, no it is not me, it is my dad that ratted me out. He just said not to take his comments to heart. That I can\'t have comments that can bring me down and comments that bring me up affect me. Whatever that means. Still i appreciated that he acknowledged that I was upset and dealt with it.

Thanks for the sweet comment Ehope! How have you been??

Hi Jeniq! It\'s been awhile since I\'ve checked in! I made it through the holidays, now on to the new year. Today is 1-14-12 and I\'m going to start school again next week! I\'m going to take a class that\'s kind of a \"thorn in my side\" for years, meaning I just haven\'t found a way to work it into my schedule. I\'m going to start working overnights for 6 months and then it should work. It ends up being a win-win..for myself as well as my employer. I\'m a little worried about how this is going to affect H...he\'ll start complaining after about the 2nd week I\'m sure. But I need to do this for me.

I hope the new year is treating you well!
