Five years ago I left my husband after a long 12 year marriage. It was by far the longest relationship in my life
other than my childhood relationship with my parents/siblings. Like every other aspect of life it taught me many
things about people and myself. I learned even more about myself after I left the relationship when I look back
there is so much more to realise today that I didn't realise then. Seems so easy to understand things when it is
over....hindsight is 20/20!
I am grateful for it because firstly I cannot change it...I have to accept it was and no longer is. But I am also
grateful for the lessons I learned and the knowledge I gained about so many things including myself. The most
important part is that my son came from that relationship and I would endure it all again including the hard times ten times over to be here today and have him. He is the love of my life...
It has ALWAYS been me and him...and when the 12year relationship ended I packed up the love of my life and we started over! Of course it wasn't easy and I was scared to death but he smiled and me and totally trusted me to take care of him and I did my best. Turned out my best was good enough to keep us comfortable. We didn't have any money but we had what we needed and we were doing well. I was dating some but nobody special and it was okay.
Then he came.....I believed him and trusted him and committed again. It lasted about 3 years technically but was over before that. If I was honest I would admit that after the 1st year it wasn't going to work. We tried sometimes at the same time but mostly it was him saying he was trying and apologizing because he wasn't. Long story short I learned before the hindsight...not that there isn't any because there is I was just able to see things for what they were and what they were not sooner than later.
Now here I am starting over again....my love of my life is taller and smarter and still smiling at me convinced
that I can do this again...that we can do this again! It is soooooooooo scary but exciting too. Here's to a new life....a better one!
