i'm happy to say i'm still alone and doing well. very well actually. things have just been going my way this week. my h and i have cut off all contact. he deosn't even come to pick up his daughter. althought he did surprise me last week when he snuck up to my house and sat on my front porch and listened to a conversation a friend and i were having. the next morning i caught him riding by my house. i'm filing a restraining order in two weeks. i'm also making plans to file for divorce. my money is tight right now so i'm doing what i can when i can do it.
i'm absolutly sure this is what i want now. i'm sure i have a long way to go but it has been a battle from the beginning. couldn't have done it w/o this board and all of you women who have offered your stories and advice. thanks so much.
my kids are great. we never did counseling but i did sit down and throw all the old rules out the window and laid down some new ones. i've also started meditating and and doing yoga to relax. this really helps. i never thought about giving my emotions a break. i also hear my h is seeing someone else and you know what? i don't care. he can see or do whoever he wants as long as it isn't me. i've started making mommy time once a week and i try to get out w/ my friends and have a good time. i also make time for the kids once a week. we call it kids day out. last week it was lunch and shopping for a toy and this week they get two things. the zoo and a st. paddy's day parade.
i just wanted to check in and let everyone know how i was doing. i'll come back more often then i have been lately.

Anyway, I am glad you are doing so well, it is truly an inspiration to all of us.
