My first day in the icy cold waters of single parenting....it feels GREAT!

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 

My Hubby finally moved enough of his stuff out to stay the night in the apartment he is now leasing.  I must admit I woke up this morning feeling like, this is the first day of the rest of my life!!  The sun seems to be shining a bit brighter, the mess in the house warms my heart as oppose to annoying me, even the flowers in the front flower bed, that I never seem to get the way I want look sooo beautiful!!  I feel like a dark cloud is on its out and the sun is headed in.

 

Am I crazy?  Did anyone else feel like this?  Was my hubby that oppressive with his depression?  Or am I in some sort of honeymoon phase and reality is going to kick me on the butt in a week or two?

 

You know what, doesn't matter...I'm just going to enjoy this. :)

Exactly how I felt in that situation! I boxed his stuff for the porch and told him it was there....and CELEBRATED! Whoohoo!

 

Enjoy! Keeping notes, even here, will remind you of what you most want, if it should ever get confusing....Which it probably won't! Best wishes!

It only gets better! I've even stopped being depressed, have gained a new confidence and am so much more happy and relaxed.

Thanks ladies, good to know.  I notice I am even enjoying being alone, after the kids are in bed.  Something I never really enjoyed before.

 

And for the first time in a long time I and hopeful about my future.  If I stay single or one day meet someone new, it doesn't seem to matter, because I am happy with myself and just being me!
