Brave Girl

Yep.  That's me.  I filed for legal separation today.  It takes me a long time to do things sometimes.  I wanted to be sure.  I was.  I am.  Now, I have to have him served the papers.....that's gonna be a pain.  I'll have to figure it out though.
I am not doing it out of anger.  Nor out of meanness. I had to get to that point for my own heart.  I am doing it for me.  For the woman I want to be.  For the woman I know that I am but have neglected for far too long.  I knew that one day I would get to that point if things didn't change.  I expressed it many times.  I could feel the end coming.  He thinks that I should keep on forgiving...keep on giving chances.  And I will keep on forgiving.  I simply won't leave myself living in this lifestyle.  It is toxic.  It's like drinking water in a radiated area.  Eventually, it WILL make you sick.
So, I was very very brave.  I have a sense of accomplishment.  I know that there are bigger mountains.  I know that this is simply a step.  But it was a significant step.
with grace.
