And I like it. Never thought I would get this far. There is no that ugly little feeling or the screechy whiny voice saying *sniff sniff* "Do not do it . . . "

I am moving on.

Just saying it is possible and it feels great!

I just did this too. Also deleted his last insane rage that I recorded. I'm good now, I don't need it as a reminder anymore.

I saved a couple of the pictures, just because I was also holding a large fish I caught in them

It feels good. Not in a vengeful or malicious kind of way....but good in a spring cleaning , air freshening, new shoes sort of way <3

Yes, a spring cleaning! No hate at all. I feel like it is time to finalize that chapter of life and leave that book on the coffee table for good.

I deleted alot of photos from social media right after I separated, knowing I was done. But I've kept the backup photos on my hard drive. Erasing history permanently like that seems wrong. And they were photos of good times, which I don't want to forget despite how bad the times eventually became.

That is understandable, Nero. It took me a year after moving to delete pics from the social media. I do not think I have the back-up copies, but it is possible that there are some on the computer/hard disk I left. The computer he broke with his fist last Easter, because the stars were not aligned the way he wanted them to be, or something like that.


Another thing is that I discovered that he lied about himself. So the memories of the good times are painful. It is not only alcohol. These lies and distorted reality are much worse.

It feels like I escaped from a dungeon!

HA-I so know what you mean. That's how I feel as well-not at all just the alcohol, but the lies, deception, abuse, blatant selfishness and narcissism and Peter Pan syndrome....yep , not just the drinking. I'm still typing this post right tiis second on the iPhone he tried to smash up the night I called the police on him. Almost two years ago. Why do I have it? Bc it is a constant reminder of who he truly is. He told me he would buy me a new phone not less than ten different times-lies and more lies. That's all I see in pictures these days-if I feel anything it's very much sadness over what he turned into. I think you're doing great moving on!!
