After the expected and long awaited separation from ex, here is my "Happy Even After" list:
- I am able to regain my dignity as a person
- I regained my self-confidence
- Realized a full emotional support from family and friends
- Gained new and real friends during the healing process
- Able to enjoy short vacations with kids without a KJ or an alcoholic person around
- Not bothered with "are you going home or not?", "don't bother to go home" and all the other emotional blackmails used when insecurities and alcohol mixed
- Spontaneity fully realized
- Learned to take care of myself
- On the process of rediscovering myself
- Getting comfortable and being used to doing things alone
- Able to go on dates with myself
- Appreciating the company of girlfriends during girl's night out and ladies only events
- Able to proved that a solo parent can manage to maintain a household on a single income albeit with some sacrifices but nonetheless able to survive financial difficulties
- Able to proved that faith in God does make a difference in ones uncertainty
- Angels does exist in the form of generous, thoughtful and caring souls
- Possibilities present itself continuously
- Opportunities to improve one's situation are aplenty
- Passions are realized little by little
- Expanding horizons
- Able to sympathize and connect with individuals who have the same concerns as mine
