the ties that bind…and strangle!

After almost a year of bliss the inevitable is now occuring…I have to spend time with my ex mother-in-law! My daughter is dancing in a recital and my ex’s mom is coming up here from texas to see her dance. My husband, best friend, her sister, one of my employees, ex-husband, and his mom will all be attending this little thing…should be a hoot! Then we will all stand there like one big happy family and tell Ami how wonderful she did, then they will go and do their thing with Ami and we will go and do our thing w/o Ami. I was really close to this woman until her son told her all sorts of nasty things about me. Maybe I was never really close to her at all, she just tolerated me cause I married her child…I guess I will never know. She has never been outwardly mean or anything but polite to me since we split up, but there is a coldness now that wasnt there before.

I want to look good when I see them. She hasnt seen me since I’ve lost the last 50 pounds. I wqant them to think I look damn good. It is awesome that Chris thinks I look good and his is the only opinion that reeally matters, but I want them to know how much happier I am now that I dropped all that weight( and the 500 or so punds I dropped when I got divorced!). Love is wonderful for the apperance…I care how I look now. I wear makeup everyday not just once in a while. I wear clothes that fit me. I do my hair rather than just putting it up all the time. I wear jewelery and do my nails. I am a completely different person than I was when I was with their family. I like me. I like my life. For the first time in…ever I have everything I need and want. I am happy! I like the way that feels,and I want them to know I am different. Fufilled. Alive!

My husband hates my ex…but only because my ex hated him first, that and the fact that my ex would rather drive a big new expensive four wheel drive pick up than pay to take care of our daughter. I hate him for that as well! Selfishness it should be one of the seven deadly sins…wait!..it is also known as greed and glutony. Better or worse I am tied to these people for at least the next 10 years or so. But at the rate the ex is going Ami wont want anything to do with him…she doesnt now, but those pesky courts ask that she still go and see him once and awhile. At least the contact is minimal…lessens the damage he could do. oh well…it will be over soon enough…’til next year then we do this all over again!!! Somebody kill me now.
