The last two days I have not posted and I have literally been writhing in anger. It was hard to not continually snap and yell at my kids and every time I thought of anything concerning Josh, this red gaze would blur my sight and all I could think, see or say was hate. I read my scriptures, prayed, ran and still I was just angry. So much so there were things said that I regret as it did not make me feel any better and it did not help the situation. I was tart enough to tell Josh I wish he had died in Afghanistan because at least then I would have the insurance money to support me and the kids and he would no longer be able to hurt us. As I said I am not proud and it was a darker day or two for me, but I feel like I am finally coming out on the other side. I feel like playing with my kids. I feel love and hope again. I am not feeling the need to call at curse at my husband for all his selfish choices. Today, I am back to myself. I am focusing on my needs as well as the needs of my children. I wish his choices didn't affect us the way they do, but I can decide how I choose to overcome all of that. Part of the reason I tried so hard to save my marriage in the first place as for the children. I wanted them to see I was not giving up, that I was enduring to the end. I just need to remember that I will always have to teach that lesson, except now it is personal mastery over myself and not just patience with another. I need to pick myself up every day and remember that I am an example. I can cry and I can hurt, but I need to show my children how we deal with things that hurt and lashing back is not the way. I need to show them that we endure to the end by being faithful and always trying to have and show the true love of Christ. I am not to the point where I feel any love or forgiveness towards Josh, but I feel the love of Christ for myself enough to know that I don't deserve to feel all the hate because of his choices. I can feel the love of Christ and the love of motherhood for my children to continue being the best I can. Ahhh this is so hard, always trying to be the better person when sometimes al I want is to just go crazy on him. Every minute of every day I am having to withhold sending a text explaining just how crappy of a person he is by telling myself he isn't worth my time or the words I have to say and he rejected all of that a long time ago. How though can I not be so hurt and conflicted when this is the man I bet everything on, just to have him betray, deceive, and retract everything that was important to me. He is not worth it though and I know this. Tomorrow will be the two week point that I found out he was an adulterer.
me. Just focus on me. I am down another pound putting me at 172. My overall goal weight is 135 (for now). I went to the doctor and was tested to make sure I wasn't given an STD and everything came out clean, so I was blessed in that aspect. My kids are having a hard time with all this change and I am trying as best as I can to meet all of their needs. I am blessed to be living with mom and dad where that can step in and give me the moment or two I need to get on my knees and push again until bedtime. I feel like I am treading water and sinking slowly, yet at the same time I can see the shore line and feel hope that at least I can maybe make it.
sorry, I know I am all over the place. Another big breath and time to quickly eat lunch while the kids nap for 30 min or so then my goal is the zoo. I love you all!
