I haven’t seen or heard from my ex since Monday and I’m not really all that sad about it. I moved out because he wanted to treat the relationship like he was the parent and I was the child. I’m a grown woman with kids. I don’t need to have different rules or be punished just because something I said or did irked him in some way. He was always trying to control me and everything about me. We missed each other when I moved out though and tried to hang out but he couldn’t get past not being able.to control my every move anymore. He didn’t see me as an individual with my own likes, desires, dreams, goals and ambitions. He also didn’t like it that a lot of people I met through him were still talking to me and that I was being invited out by them for fun stuff. He has to be number one in everything. The last time I saw him, he called me a c***. I got out of his truck and shut the door firmly and assertively. No goodbye, nothing. Walked straight to the front door and he squealed the tires as he took off. I guess that was supposed to scare me but I didn’t even look back. I felt nothing. I think the sad fact is about our whole relationship is that he needed me more than I needed him, even though he desperately wanted and did everything to make me believe the opposite. I’m free of him. Free. And man, does that feel good. Movin’ on! 🙂

New Confession

I wish I knew others that had experienced this before. You dated someone just to find out they’re a narcissist that ends up replacing you with a dangerous criminal and within months the criminal passes away. This criminal wanted to write me a letter using a relatives mailing address and my relative said that she wasn’t getting involved in drama. I forgive but in the back of my mind,I question if God protected me from serious harm. Why do I feel as though this person faked their death and has actually left America when the website for the funeral home is trustworthy and they wouldn’t keep fake obituaries? Why do I feel my ex will find someone else to finish a dirty deed the previous and deceased partner had planned? Seriously, I wonder if anyone else had this experience before.

I have a deep hate for the self help industry because it’s like its own type of religion…if you just believe and work hard enough, you’ll go to success heaven. I fell for it hard for awhile in the early 2000’s with my attention and money until I finally started opening my eyes to the patterns of BS. One of the patterns I started noticing were wealthy successful people in interviews talk about their similar “homeless to billionaire” origin stories that put them in a light of how hard they worked and scraped to get to where they are now, but almost nothing about the actual steps in between. Step 1: had nothing. Step 2: worked hard. Step 3: billionaire! It drove me nuts because I always ended up with the thought “but how did you actually get there?” They sell the idea of success because everybody loves the rags to riches story and it wouldn’t be so inspiring if they were thoroughly honest about what was available to them that isn’t for most people.
