Gotta love the NO MORE mantra
| Sun, 05-25-2008 - 2:03pm |
We have all been abused in some way/shape/form here. I love the "NO MORE" attitude from one of the posts. Surely applies to me. I had my actions (kicking him out in January) reinforced this weekend. DS was in town getting his wisdom teeth out, and STBX tried to take complete control of the situation at the hospital. (Like he's had anything to do with any of us the past year). It was a blessed eye-opener for me, b/c last week I was having second thoughts and was questioning my kicking him out. Life for sure is a roller coaster!!! I hope to remain steadfast and strong, and thanks to this forum, I believe I am! Waiting though for the separation papers to come through--will feel better then. Anyone know anything about personality disorders? especially narcissism??? (don't know if I spelled it right)

The narcissism thing seems to be a recurring theme here. It's a familiar one to me, too, as my STBX suffers from it as well. It's always been "all about him" and always will be. His moods, his hobbies, his job, his family, etc.,etc. etc.
Luckily he gives me plenty of reminders about why we're not together anymore; take today, for instance.
It amazes me also. My H is supposed to take the kids today from 10:00 - 6:00 and my day alone will also consist of some house work, including laundry, some gardening (mulch is the order of the day) and add grocery shopping to my list of fun ;) Oh, and maybe muster a little sanity again since I've been 24/7 with the kids AND I teach. Oy, so many children ALL the time. But summer vacation is in sight.
I made it clear his day with the kids wouldn't involve him sitting around the house, breathing, in his chair. He hasn't seen them in more than 2 weeks either and I swear, it doesn't seem to phase him. He was easily able to schedule his ball games for Monday and Sunday this past week and go on with his single lifestyle. I'm not even planning on combing the children's hair or brushing their teeth (they are young) before he gets here. HE can handle it for a change. Mommy needs a break.
I'm with you all on this: NO MORE!
Hello Horseanddoglover,
I too am on that rollercoaster.
