Just checking in to say today is my 7 month anniversary since I moved out on my own and 2 month anniversary since divorce was finalized.

Kids are grown but the holidays were still rough. Married 28 years / together 33. Sold the family house for a clean break (recommend).

BUT. Today I realized…

I am mentally more healthy. I am physically more healthy. I am financially more healthy.

I’m not getting her back. Don’t want her back. My kids know their mother and they know me. For the first time they are experiencing a Dad who is free from the control, criticism and judgment. Unfortunately they’ll never be free from that.

I feel good about where I am today and where I’m headed. Valentine’s Day is tomorrow and that has no effect on me - going to the auto show on a date with myself.

Highly, highly recommend No More Mister Nice Guy.

Thank you to everyone in this group helping each other and lifting each other up. It has meant the world to me.
