After years of loathing it has come to this. It was a spur of the moment decision. And once I realized I made the decision to do it I couldn't help but feel proud of myself. Don't judge me!
It just felt like the right thing to do. For years I carried around a little resentment (OK! Ok! A LOT). I was scorned! I was bitter! I was secretly plotting! But, this? This is not like me at all! [Exhale] I still can't believe I did it! The oppurtunity arose and I took it without a second thought because that's the kind of person I am! I'm like that!
WOWOWOWO! Hang on a minute! You don't think I poisoned him do you? Nooooooo! He brought over a few pieces of furniture I left at our old house, he mentioned that mice moved in and I said "Hey! I have some DECON if you need it!" Silly! I wouldn't try to hurt the man!....Seriously! I wouldn't do that to the kids! This isn't a story about knocking off the ex! It's a story about forgiveness!
It's no secret to our family that my ex and I had a rocky run! We ended our marriage in a way that leaves a woman bitter. But I moved on. What else do you do? I got lucky, I found a great guy, we expanded the family and recently got married. But I don't think I actually ever forgave the ex for the things he did. He pulled some pretty stupid things when we were at odds. But, I won't lie. I ran my mouth! {Shocker} Anyway, I hadn't seen him in a while and when he stopped by with our boys yesterday I looked at him and thought "It just isn't worth it! Holding onto this hate is not healthy and it's a waste of time because I got mine!". Then I wanted to Thank him, shake his hand and say "Thank you for the journey! Thank you for the 2 wonderful boys and thank you for teaching me that you live and you learn!". But, instead I offered to give him Rat Poison! Because I'm over it! I won't forget. [pointing at my eyes, then at him] But I can forgive! So, Mr Ex.......I forgive you! And I'll leave it there!
