Things are have changed alot since my very first post. I was sick and tired of everything then. I was so lost and helpless not to mention confused. I loved my AH but hated him wanted him home but wanted him out etc.
I cried and cried. One night I was so engulfed w/ grief and pain I just prayed to my HP. Really prayed. I prayed for sanity and to take away all this hurt from me.
It took some time but gradually it got me to where I am now and will hopefully keep me going in a direction where I will try everyday to better myself.
Don't get me wrong, not everything has been perfect. Its still been a tough road and I still have plenty of work to do on myself. However, its a vast improvement.
I no longer worry about my AH. Is he w/ someone else? Is he thinking about me? Is he drinking? Is he dead? lol Doesn't he care?
Now I just worry about me and my baby.I feel so free!!! I've been keeping busy spending time w/ friends having fun playing w/ my daughter. I know I will see my AH in court soon but I'm looking forward to that day because I'm hoping that the courts will be fair to the both of us.
I just wanted to share this w/ ya'll because how I feel now is seriously a MIRACLE. If you would have known me then and knew how much I loved my AH and what sacrifices I would make for him all the things that I have put up with you would definitely agree that this is a MIRACLE!!!!
Believe in yourselves.. someone shared a quote w/ me today "You never know how strong you are until strong is the only choice you have to be"
XOXO
