Really thought I was done grieving our once life. Hell, it all came crashing down 10/08/2010. It's been almost 3 years. I've mourned and mourned, and I thought I had finally come to accept it all over the past several months. I had honestly forgiven him, and anything I would get upset about recently was new hurts, not old stuff. I was happy to feel I had finally begun to heal from all the lost dreams.
This morning, though, I'm fucking ANGRY. My daughter was a terror this morning....again. (She has autism) I have another middle of the night disaster to clean in the toy room. She'll be 10 this coming month, and I don't know where I'm gonna get the strength or patience for another 8-11yrs of this crap. Then I was reminded this wasn't in the plan. I wasn't supposed to be a single mom now. I should have a fucking supportive husband. He'd have NEVER put up with the shit he did if the tables were turned. In some way, I feel that makes him less sick than me. I need to quit comparing, quit thinking of how it was supposed to be, and just accept this is it.
I'm on my own, but I have been anyway, for a long time. Haven't had his consistent support in over 3yrs. It was about this time 3yrs ago that he just totally shut down on life. It's affair season, it's triggers everywhere, and I'm just pissed and sad this morning. FTG.
I'm even more pissed I'm thinking of him. He doesn't deserve my thoughts, not even angry ones. I'm angry I'm not fully focused on me this morning, that he even has a space in my head. This isn't healthy, this anger and disappointment. I'm angry that at 32yrs old I'm struggling to get above water and breathe for the first time in years. This shouldn't be my life!!!
I need to snap out of this funk I'm in this morning.

Vent away mamma. You'll feel better just getting it out.
Letting go of what I never had was very very painful but necessary for my healing. Accepting it doesn't bypass the mourning. I expect I'll be mourning it for quite some time yet.

I may have reached a point where I'd piss on him if he was on fire.... eventually!!
