I am better today, still sore, but I am able to walk , and talk , and breath so it is a good day. I was sitting here thinking how much my life has changed since he left. How much I have changed since he left. I am very different. The way I look at life has changed. I am more patient, loving, gentle and I smile more. I shop the outside isles at the food store now and eat better. I am learning how to be good to myself more now. If I had someone to go with I might even try the gym again after all these years.. The fact I lost 53 pounds already makes me happy and I look forward to losing down to my ideal weight. I no longer care if I have material things ( I don't need that $200.00 mixer anymore) that in the past I thought were must haves. Now , I am wanting to have a more comfortable fun life , one where you do not worry every moment of every day if you can make bills or not. I thought I knew how to budget and that I was doing fine, but when My church decided to work the Financial peace plan I decided to join in and now I am thinking cool, there is a better way. Funny how some guy getting rich telling others how to stop being poor could actually make sense and work. I am in no way trying to say try it to anyone. I am just realizing that the thing makes sense to me and helped me to realize where the problem points in my budget are. I believe that I just might be able to get back on track and have the comfort life I want in the near future. Now I just need a better paying job, and for the ( never been good with money in his life always in debt ex) to pay his child support. I can not imagine not wanting to pay for the care of your child if you love them. He is not giving me money, he is giving them money , everything I spend is for them. He has shown his true colors to everyone, and he in no way looks close to a rose. Well, I am going to go enjoy my daughters, watch american Idol tonight and then take a long hot bath and sleep like a baby. Might sound broing but hey I have popcorn. Sigh, the main thing I miss is snuggling before I fall asleep. Oh well, one day I will snuggle again.

I broke up with my boyfriend on New Year's day after dating him for 1 1/2 years so I know exactly what you're going through. HUGS!
Keep repeating this mantra out loud:
"Who I am is not for sale at any price! I am brilliant and beautiful and a best friend to everyone who knows me. I am peaceful and happy and more successful than ever before. I am relaxed and confident and trading in my old fears on new hopes.
This is going to be a wonderful year for me; a year of breakthrough, options, and opportunities for new paths to follow. I am excited and ready for the challenges and the triumphs that lie ahead.
No, my self-worth, my happiness, my freedom, my unbounded optimism about what is ahead is not for sale at any price!”

That's wonderful, Chatty. I've been reading what you've shared with us since before your move, and today's writing is different. There is a calmer, gentler, accepting, yet strong tone---good for you!
