Finally....I found myself!
 
I was thinking alot in the car today on my way home from work. I realized that I have come along way...personally. I realized that for the first time in a very long time....I feel like me and I like it. Nothing the AH does anymore really gets under my skin. I am incontrol of my emotions and feelings. I decide whether to react or just move on. When he is around I don't let his negative ridiculous behaviors get to me. When he stares at me w/ his awful dirty looks, I simply act as if I don't notice and get past it. When he acts up, I call him out like I would anyone else. When he is negative I just smile and say ok. I feel the best I have felt in a long time. I feel confidence that I haven't felt in a long time. SO SO SO different from what I have felt in the recent past. I found me again...and I like it.

That is so awesome!

To realize, accept and embrace the fact that you can only control you!

That is the goal I am working on... thanks Freeingmyself for the inspiration.
