Relief at last

I thought things were getting better.  Our anniversary was days away.  Saying you weren't happy and I should leave leveled me more than if you beat me with a bat.  What didn't make you happy?  The college education I paid for or the home I built behind you grandmother's house so she would have to go to a retirement home?  Was it me leaving my career for the daughter you insisted being raised at home so you could advance in your "dream job"?  Maybe a man who continued to love you despite your insistence on letting your self go was too much a push over.  I nearly killed myself twice over this but it was the beauty of our daughter who saved me.  There is no way I could leave her without a father.  Now I am better.  I left and got my own dream job.  My daughter terrorizes you for sending me away and I am in the best shape I have been in for a long time.  Go ahead and tell me how much you enjoy your new "lifestyle".  I don't care.  I may be alone but I learned to live life for me and my daughter.  The devastation I felt was because you always came first in my life.  What a fool I was for not seeing it's ok for me to come first when I need it to.  Yes, I may be scarred by your selfishness but I finally see you for what you are - a spoiled child who refuses to grow up.  So go ahead, enjoy yourself.  You will find me difficult to replace.  As for me, I will take my time as there are a host of women who weren't treated half as good as you were.
