[QUOTE="AngelaMia aka Merris, post: 94021, member: 3978"] Thanks Susie! I've been thinking about you all lately too! I haven't been here much, a lot going on, but I'm here to lurk most days. The deadbolt was installed today! difficult child and I had another "talk" last night about what I expect from him if he wants to remain in my life. It means more than "not doing anything bad". It means getting a REAL job, it means he's going to have to try harder than everyone else because he's a convicted felon, it means he's going to have to stop depending on me and it means he's going to have to come to the realization that although I HAVE the money to get him a car, I am NOT getting him a car until he is responsibile and I feel it is safe. For those of you without the background - difficult child and I did have a restraining order and he served a year in jail for attempted 1st degree assault. Believe me, we are just starting the healing process. Yesterday was the first ME day in probably 5 years. My BFF owns a ritzy salon. She took me there and because she's the boss, they all fawned all over me. Everyone had an opinion, nails, haircolor, cut, length, choppy, curls, straight. I had people all over me! I now have FABULOUS new color in my hair, a beautiful cut and I look very dignified. I can't afford to go there all the time, but it might be worth skimping on things just to keep it up. I had an EXCELLENT time! BUT - today I am sad because I just spent the whole day reading through my 11 years of journaling. The one my "husband" stole. I now realize that my lawyer isn't fighting as hard as she would be if he didn't have that document. There were times when I was very ill and unmedicated (before I met him) and times when I was out of my mind with paranoia about difficult child when we were together. It doesn't matter. The divorce is on Thursday. It's best to have it over with. I just hope that Karma is real and that this voodoo doll really works [img]:smile:[/img] Chant Karma Karma Karma on Thursday please - maybe the judge will give me more! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
