How bad am I?

Hi everyone I haven't been around in awhile, I've missed you!

Well, since hiring a hit man goes against my stupid morals (darn it!) I have been busy devising a way to make my escape. I am going to tell my dear AH that I want to go back to school. It will take four to six months to get my nail tech license, then my dearest friend and I are going to open a little day spa in the lovely tourist trap of a town that is ten minutes from here.

How bad am I for making him pay for my schooling and getting me set up, with the ultimate goal of leaving him in the end?? My evil side is cheering me on, and my moral, codie side is giving me a headache. I think just this once the evil me might win the battle.

Wish me luck gang!

Paula

Okay, this is my thinking. Go for it. Chances are you've gone without and deserve everything you can get. If a relationship is a 50/50 deal or as Dr. Phil says, 100/100 deal, did you get your fair share? We know you gave more than enough while he's drinking.

Great that you're thinking of yourself and looking ahead.

That's my goal, to be self supporting. I've been thinking long and hard about why in the heck I am still here and my biggest reason is that my kids are going to suffer if I go, because financially I won't be able to keep giving them what they are getting now. I just can't take them from their father and make them live on welfare too.

The materials things will be forgotten. What's important is removing them from an alcholic home. What you could give them will last a lifetime.

No my friend, life only sucks if you think it does.
And I'm not thinking that these days.
Cool...free pedi.
Revlon Red and all the pumice stone action you can come up with.
I'm right good at doing my own pedicures, but I could deal with some spa action.

my kids have never ever complained about what they didnt get....and it was plenty.(their dad was not an a, it just didnt work out) and 10-12 years later, he is pretty wealthy....and stingy to them with it.........................they have more love and respect for ME, then he will ever get from anyone!!!!!!!!!

its about a whole lot more than that.
