New Dark Fantasies ..


My dark fantasies are evolving .. LOL .. now these are meant tongue and cheek. 

When I started my journey .. ohhh the whiskey truck getting set on fire in the country was a big go to one for me .. LOL .. I had one day that the STBAX had to go out and move the truck or I don't think I could have controlled myself.  That was when the DUI hit. 

When I found out about the affair .. bi-planes with leaflets of the emails I found (he left them up on the screen) and copies of the phone bills .. I KNOW the company would have loved to have seen those as if it hadn't put my STBAX's job in jeopardy she would have been fired big time. 

When the divorce stalled out LAST year and I was literally getting a very good deal on support .. it made me laugh because I KNOW he was not telling the truth and that he was going to the ex wife .. she works for an atty office and getting his legal advice from her .. LOL.  She's not even a paralegal.  Unfortunately for him because he lied her advice was not good.  Anyway, I thought 2 flower bouquets .. as much as I would have liked to have sent black roses .. I decided that could be taken out of context as a threat so that was not good .. LOL.  I decided that sending a thank you note with a colorful bouquet would be appropriate.  The card would read something like .. I want to say thank you for all of the priceless legal advice you have given to your ex husband .. without you I wouldn't have gotten the deal I did .. I will be forever grateful for your help.  To the other woman .. Thank you for doing him as God provided me an out through you and I will be forever grateful for Him ending something I could not end myself. 

Now .. I have moved on to singing telegrams .. I miss those days .. obviously current songs, poems, with my wording of course however a tad more colorful in the language.  I would love to take a video and post that to youtube .. LOL .. I know .. bad bad bad .. however this is where I'm grateful for Alanon .. it's a feeling not a fact and unfortunately (or fortunately .. LOL) I don't have the funds to provide myself with such a luxury of closure.  It would be brilliant and for me it would be fun.  For these two women .. not so much .. lol. 

My reality of what I have been able to do as far as closure with the other woman is I was able to confront her and not in a Jerry Springer crazy way .. I did get my closure face to face and it's not for the faint of heart I will tell you that .. she fully knows who I am now and I am no longer invisible.  Her parents know who I am as well as they were with her when I confronted her.  I have NO remorse about the fact I did.  I have no doubt that Ruby Tuesday's is off the menu after Sunday church though and I have NO doubt she will think twice before getting involved with a married man.  It got very real and she got a huge dose of reality.    I took my power back and with it got a text from the STBAX stating I hope your proud of yourself and again .. thanks to Alanon .. I didn't text back WHY YES I AM .. THANK YOU! :)  I could have confronted her MONTHS earlier and did not .. I do believe that God provided that for my own healing and as a lesson to both of them.  Back to bad behavior is bad behavior .. it could have been soooo less messier in terms of end the relationship first and THEN move on. 

I haven't had the opportunity to confront the ex wife and I will at some point IF the God of my understanding provides the opportunity I will take it.  It's one of those deals that I will not seek her out .. there is no need.   

Why I love my sponsor .. she laughed and said you have the best imagination and are the bravest person I have ever met.  I don't know many people who could have handled the other woman situation as gracefully as you have with all of the sense of humor you utilized .. and still walked away with no cops being called .. LOL.  I told her there was no need for that .. I did need to be heard .. that was important to me .. however she took that is not my issue .. I spoke my truth and I did so with dignity and grace. 

Hugs S :)

I believe we think differently on issues.

Myself it's important to me to keep my dignity. I will not bring myself down to anyone's level by confronting for this type thing. I do not want to give them any ammunition either.

I don't want them to hear how I feel inside since they very apparently don't care. I feel better by not giving them any attention.

If a man leaves me, that is his choice. He does not get to talk to me, argue with me, he does not get to be anything to me at all.

I would take care of and know my part in the divorce. Would not know or care about his part.When we go to court, the judge can decide.

All that drama is not for me, and I don't find pleasure in a sick persons mistakes.Also I don't feel it is part of my recovery to watch his behavior. It's none of my business. I want to be a better person and focus on my own.

I want my kids to see me as a Lady who stands up for what she believes and will not try to get revenge or want any drama from anyone. I have no reason to engage with anyone who acts inappropriately. My program is based on integrity, giving it to HP, and looking for the most loving ways to handle things, I will also think about how Jesus might suggest handling it. Turn the other cheek, love your enemies. This does not mean I have to love their behavior, that is HP's job to judge not me.

This is just me. Take what you want and leave the rest.
