Hi!
I'm doing well, I'm adjusting to life alone and have had a few life changing realizations this week...amazing!
I realized that I was far too "nice" to DH, enabling his bad habits because I wanted to give him time to change on his own. I realized that I should have set my boundaries with him at the start of our marriage instead of letting him use me for a doormat. I realized that this last week I have been happy and felt strong and felt more confident about myself and my life than I ever have. EVER.

I'm back in school full time, and you have to kind of be anal retentive to be a librarian, I'm finding out. lol. So many details! It's a challenge to do while taking care of Dylan...I get bits and pieces of work done during the day instead of large chunks all at once, but it works really well.

I'm not used to living on my own in the country, that's a little creepy/scary for me at night, but of course this is a really safe place to live so it's mostly all in my head. :)

Anyway, DH is coming over for dinner tonight, to visit for a while. I've tried not to see him too much because I want him really to realize that I'm done babysitting, I'm done being taken for granted, I'm done with it all. He can be a man, grow up and stay in his son's life...or he can just get lost. But I won't settle, not anymore. Dylan doesn't deserve it...and neither do I, for that matter.

heh, now i've gone off, haven't I. But thanks for listening, thanks for being so supportive, and thanks for wondering how I was doing. :)
