Is what i am feeling now.

I have had a hellish day full of insults and texts off the father of my children and my x boyfriend and here is what i am going to do.

1.) Stop sulking

2.) Take pride in my appearance

3.) Make dam sure i can get the money to keep renting my property, nobody is making me move house again

4.)Do more excercise when i feel upset/depressed/ tearful/ either to relax or beat the shit out of a punch bag

5.)Start to focus on what i am good at and succeed at it

6.) Ignore anyone who fills me with negativity

  1. Embrace therapy

  2. Volunteer every monday to cook lunch for an elderly home bound person

9)Put myself above the needs and wants of men i know who quite obviously only use me to feed their egos

  1. Put my vagina into retirement

  2. Count my blessings

  3. Be proud not ashamed

  4. Stop letting the piss be taken out of me

  5. Start a new list about what i shall do for my kids but leave that list for a while until i feel stronger

Good luck

fairyfly you are on the same wavelength as me. had an epiphany a few days ago about my life. i'm so ready to be positive and hardworking, to move onwards and upwards. i'm with you a hundred percent. this should be a support thread

mymama · 05/03/2008 22:29

fantastic list.

at number 10.

fairyfly · 05/03/2008 22:34

Oh it hopefully will be a support thread. I am so tired of giving everything and not coming up to scratch. I am also tired of being a victim.

I worry so much about how these people are and now i am going to just put myself first. Sounds absurd writing that down, but i know what i mean! I deserve to be treated better.

I have had appalling texts today about how i don't deserve support and money etc....

IT"S JUST NOT TRUE!!!!! THEY SPEAK SHIT

Hurrah

I'd include changing my SIM card or blocking your ex bf's number.

DKMA · 05/03/2008 22:47

Only electric shock treatment would do that expat.

Yes smile, not quite ready for that one, uncomfortable grimace is what i am aiming at.

expatinscotland · 05/03/2008 22:52

I'd just take the high road.

For every single one of his texts I'd only reply: 'I know you are, but what am I?' or 'I'm rubber, you're glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you.'

WendyWeber · 05/03/2008 22:54

Block the buggers, ff. (Hope ex's dad is still being supportive though?)

See you tomorrow - if I don't get lost on the M60

fairyfly · 05/03/2008 22:56

Oh i couldn't send anything like that, i would get poems back off one and so what off the other

reply 'message redirected to someone who gives a flying feck'

list looks good! keep up the good work!

purpleduck · 06/03/2008 10:40

yay for you!!

I love that saying "the best revenge is a good life"

Said it to myself many many times when breaking up with ex.

Also one that said something along the lines of
" I shall allow no man to denigrate my soul by making me hate him"

Love it!

Good luck

musicgirl · 06/03/2008 13:10

fairfly - most men think they are the centre of the world so hit him where it hurts - his vanity. Just show total indifference to him and what he's doing and it will drive him nuts.

Keep conversations to the bare minimum and don't ever ask him how he is. If he asks how you are just say "great" or "very busy". I think it just feeds their egos if they think you miss them or can't cope without them. And it absolutely destroys them if they think you are having a better time without them.

Kathyis6incheshigh · 06/03/2008 13:13

Number 8 is lovely - and puts an ex's smal-minded nastiness into perspective.

DualCycloneCod · 06/03/2008 13:14
