Friday night - weekend
Hi there
I went to a listen to karaoke last night in a bar. Haven't been in one since before I was married. (Never was a social drinker. Rather get sloshed and feel ****** about myself in private.) Loved my ginger ale and water. It was fun. Lots of guys in their 70's up singing 70's songs.
And then, the texts from my soon to be ex sister in law started. Each is meant to be nice. But it tore my guts out. How I hadn't tried hard enough. How I had torn their family apart, Mind you, my spouse has good qualities but respect, kindness and compassion for me are not even on the list.
I think I handled it well. I told her we both had things to be saddened by, but that we both need to live full lives from here on out. I think it gave her pause when I told her I was happy and wished he could find peace and stop trying to ruin my life. (Which includes suing me for spousal support)
And then I went to bed, Got up. Cleaned. Running errands and not one sliver of desire to drink. Well, that's not true. The sliver is there but every day it gets easier to find something to do to stay busy and push it into the background. Maybe some day, about the time my divorce is done, I won't hear it at all.
Hope you all have a great weekend. Off to wash my car and see a movie.
Blessings
