I really feel like I have new lease on life!!!

Granted I'm not there yet, but today has been a wonderful day. I amicably filed for divorce. It went so smoothly it's surreal, we still have a hearing to go to before it's offical but I've taken the big step.

 

I met with the social worker who has basically told me if I really feel that my son is just too much for me they'll work harder at getting his dad to take over custody! I love him and all. I just don't think I can be the kind of parent he needs me to be. I'm a free spirit type of person and he cannot handle even the smallest of changes. His dad is much more structured or appears that way. Once they give him the overall I know for sure, but it really gives me hope that life can get better. I'll still see him and be his mom, but not having the drama is a dream come true!

 

I feel freer than I have ever felt. Sure I still have responsibility but for the first time in my adult life I feel like I can do or be whomever I decide to be, and not who someone else expects me to be. It's like the gate has lifted and I'm free!!!!

"I just got divorced! I'm so happy!"

 

"I just gave away my son! I'm so happy!"

Yeah I know it sounds bad, but if you knew the real story you'd understand. I've been in a type of hell for 10 years now. It's like I've served whatever sentance God gave me and have been released. It truly feels like I've been released from a type of prison.

well, it's good that you are self-aware enough to know that you can't handle the little one.

Sounds to me like you're getting back to the "real" you and not what others may have expected you to be.

You are 2smart. That is exactly how I feel.
