Hello and Happy Sunday!
13 yrs yesterday!
On the Home Front: Ok, so here's the thing. I've known for months that my husband is a pathological liar and serial cheater among other things. I've had to put things in motion that I never, in a million years, thought I would have to do. I honestly wanted to wait a few more days, when I got the legal separation papers back from the lawyer, to confront him and kick him out, but he started asking questions on Sunday about some things and so that's when it all went down. The shit really hit the fan. And he's gone. He fucked up royally. And has been for years. 28 years, in fact. He is so not the person I thought he was. He is a fucking stranger to me. I'm grieving a lost relationship and I'm mad as hell. The kids are devastated and pissed. He has left an emotional mess behind for me to clean up. But I am my mother's daughter and I will pick up the pieces and move on. I've not really cried except when my brother sent a text saying that there was the most gorgeous rainbow over the farm and it literally started (or looked like it) on the place where we spread mom's ashes. So he interpreted that to mean mom is sending her love and support. Then I cried. It's been an an emotionally devastating week. There are a ton of things I've needed to do to separate our finances and accounts. I dropped off a copy of the papers for him to review and we should be getting those notarized tomorrow as well as the titles to the cars. One step at a time.
The rest of the week was driving Kyle to and from work, picking Ellie up from school on the days Jess worked, doing grocery pick up, getting my ears re-pierced (stopped wearing earrings over 2 decades ago), and yesterday Anna, DJ, Trip, Kyle, and I went to the State Fair in Raleigh while Jess and Ellie went to the Ren Fair in Charlotte. I'm 56 and never been to a State Fair - not when I lived in OH or since I've been in NC. So I can cross that off my Bucket List. I'm tired. Today I will do the cleaning since it didn't get done yesterday and then I'll either mindlessly watch Criminal Minds or attempt to read. We'll see.

I'm sorry for the loss of your relationship. Glad you have the strength to move forward. I don't like wearing earrings but I can still jam an earring through the piercings for special occasions (which happens about once a year). Also, the cat ripped a hole in my ear yesterday so now I look like I had a gauge. Hopefully that one will close up.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a real roller coaster of feelings. But this is the right decision.
DeleteThe lady who did my ears poked through from the back then from the front. Was a bit of resistance but they finally went through. lol Oh, no! Ouch! I hope it heals quickly. I am definitely not a fan of gauges. They ick me out. lol
I am sorry. I sensed his attending the JD Vance hate rally was a problem and I wouldn't have been happy either. You will have some changes but I'm glad you have the kids to help some. My daughter stayed with me. Be sure to separate the accounts. There was one left joint and my ex didn't pay the bill and it's been hanging out there on my credit for 10 years now.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
It was a huge problem. Ever since Mango Mussolini ran for President he's slowly been consumed with all the worst traits of humanity. Or maybe they were always there and buried but that POS gave him the courage to spill them out in the open. He believes literally everything the disgusting right wing says and it's infuriating. But that's just one thing in a long list of reasons I just couldn't stay married to him anymore. The papers have been signed. Now we have to wait a year for it to be officially official. Stupid NC law. Grrrrr! Anyway, we're slowly separating accounts. One day at a time.
DeleteIf it's been 10 yrs you can petition to have it removed from your credit.
Ugh. So sorry the marriage has ended like this and that you have to deal with all of it. I hope your family and friends rally around to support you through this.
ReplyDeleteThank you. They have rallied around. It's really a journey only I can make, but I truly appreciate all the support. At least the kids are all adults.
