So sorry but sounds like you’re on the right path. I had a rotten mother too

I’m so happy for you. I totally relate to the feeling of relief. I spent 20 years terrified of being divorced. Now four years out, the knowledge that I’m divorced and free from all that nonsense makes me smile every damn day.

i loved reading that! i am not yet divorced but split since dec 17 and in my own place since jul 19. i *love* my life, my home is set up how i want it with my furniture, paint choices, my pictures on the wall, my career has blossomed, i go where i want and spend my money how i want to. my kids seem well adjusted and happier.
i am optimistic about my future and who i get to be, not doubting myself with someone who constantly chose to believe the worst about me. it takes strength to make your life better - good for you! enjoy the rest of the life you deserve! big hugs!!

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

That's it EXACTLY. For years I wouldn't even hang out with my closest friends and I preferred to be alone. I still don't mind my own company, but it was only with therapy that I really started to come out of my shell. And the more I did it the less patient I was with my marriage, since I started to see myself in a completely different (more positive) light.
Now I'm decorating more, my career is amazing and I'm even thinking of hosting a few holiday get togethers. This would not have been me a few years ago. I wasn't going to spend another second with someone who wanted to stay stuck. For so many years I was, and even looking at pictures of myself from those years you can see the difference. I said to someone the other day to quote Samantha from SATC I love him but I FINALLY love me more.

scrappyesq. I am so happy for you. You sound absolutely wonderful. My brother and his wife of over 30 years divorced quite quickly in the state of New York also. Things came to a head during the spring of 2020 when Covid first hit, my dad passed away, one of my brothers good friends was killed in a helicopter accident, and some other things that were tragic. My former sister-in-law was an asshole about my brothers grief. We also found out some things that she had done to him and I think sometimes we forgot that men can be verbally abused and physically abused by women and that’s exactly what happened to my brother. I looked back on those years he was married and I’m thankful for my niece and nephew that I have, but sad at times that he endured so much shit. He is so much happier and healthier and has a wonderful girlfriend. I wish nothing but misery on my former sister-in-law for the rest of her life. Enjoy this new life!!
