I couldn't have read this at a better time! I was have one of those days today! When I read this I had a lightbulb moment.

Thank you so much.

I'm glad it was helpful. I know we've done this several times before, but I still think it's helpful to look at the list in black-and-white. So anyone that wants to share the list of things they'll no longer have to tolerate, feel free!


No more....


clothing strewn from one end of the house to another.


bills and papers piled up a mile high on the kitchen table.


huge messes to clean up, and then get yelled at for "moving things."


tons of useless boxes and other junk clogging up every room of the house.


hearing, "I'll do it later," and it never gets done.


doing all the housework and yardwork by myself...and then get told it wasn't done correctly.


excessive debt to the IRS because there were, "other bills to pay."


huge purchases made while I only have $1.00 in my wallet.


sitting on the couch alone on the couch every night crying.


being called, "crazy, sick, and needing help."


son asking, "is dad coming home tonight?" There's a defined custody arrangement and he gets to see his father much more.


being put in last place before his friends.


wondering when he'll come home from poker, golf, dinner out, happy hour, etc.
