Mood:  bright

  10 years divorced from my ex and very happy about it. The relief from the stress she caused me is great. Immediately after she left I went from anxious to calm. Over the years I have mellowed out.

  She still is as unreasonable, mean and untrustworthy. She took advantage of me by thieving an unfair amount of child support. She writes mean things about me and my friends.I look forward to the day 2 of my kids aren't living with her anymore. I won't have to go around her.

   I don't anticipate she will change how bad she is. In my heart I don't think she can dredge up enough goodness to allow us to be friends again. She would have to have a whole bunch of I'm sorrys and I was wrongs. I take solace in the thought she won't ever want to attempt to correct things.

   Ever since divorce I have only met nice people. I am very happy with the lady I live with now.

   The only mean person I know these days is my ex. All other humanity I experience are people who are reasonable and level headed. 

   - Remember, don't trust anyone who says or writes bad things about you. Keep them at a distance.

   I look forward to many happy years.
