..and kicked him to the curb. Told him Monday but not actually seen him for over a week now.

Feel ok ATM.

Dont know your whole story but hope you are ok. Have you got support for yourself?

Riss70 · 25/07/2007 09:23

WOW - I hope that was the right thing and if it was good on you! Glad you are feeling OK

MascaraOHara · 25/07/2007 10:27

I'm thinking that it'll be a couple of weeks before I start feelling miserable.

Not really any support. If anything will be lack of support as it's all very incestuous and am going to lose (or at minimum strain) a number of my close friendships

when will the grovelling stop, it's making it very hard to stick to my word.. I know that's the idea but it's horrible.

i dont know your story but wish i had your courage

Carnoodleusfudge · 25/07/2007 15:06

A brave decision and braver act.
Hang on in there.

MascaraOHara · 25/07/2007 15:17

I don't know your story Mascara but our paths have crossed a few times, so i just wanted to show you support really

Good Luck

MascaraOHara · 25/07/2007 15:44

Thanks.

I know my story is old news on here to be honest.. it's dragged on for years

well done for doing something i'm sure you will be happier

mamazon · 25/07/2007 15:47

good for you Mascara

you are probably a bit numb at the moment. IME you go from numb - to really happy with the decision and pleased you have so much time to yourself - to really miserable and struggling with it all - to being ok and able to find out who YOU are again rather than MRS XXX.

stay strong and know that you have done the right thing for you

MascaraOHara · 25/07/2007 16:30

yeah I'm sure it'll be up and down for a while. Just have to hang in there

MOH !!!!!!

Well done that girl !

MascaraOHara · 25/07/2007 16:33

lol, thanks.

Am feeling quite positive but think I am burying my head in the sand atm as just not spoken to him much. Need to as he has a load of my stuff and I probably owe him some money (ironic)

OP posts:
nomdeplume · 25/07/2007 16:33

You owe him

Seriously though, you did the right thing.

MascaraOHara · 25/07/2007 16:37

In a weird way, I know I have but I think it's still going to be hard, what with all the ties with friends and things.

At the time it felt like a weight off but reality hasn't kicked in yet.

At least have always done most of the parenting on my own so dd not missing him at all.. I'm a bit sad for her though as he was the closest thing she had to a proper dad.

OP posts:
nomdeplume · 25/07/2007 16:39

but she will thank you for it in the long run. She will have a happy Mum, and that counts for a LOT, believe me. I spent the first 6yrs of my life with a miserable Mum trapped in a terrible marriage. She was much better off without him, we all were.

Spidermama · 25/07/2007 16:47

Well done Mascara. How empowering for you. Very best of luck from here on. You are in control now.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 25/07/2007 16:50

MOH - I dont know much about your situation, but, I hope it works out well for you

CountessDracula · 25/07/2007 16:59
