Personal Moving On: My Journey After Ending a Toxic Relationship - A Personal Story

In summary, the speaker's boyfriend's son was abusive towards her and they mutually decided for her to move out while he gets help. However, the speaker received an email from her boyfriend's ex telling her to remove pictures of her daughter from her social media. The boyfriend then broke up with her via text and the ex claimed they were back together. The speaker is upset and feeling discouraged about relationships but is trying to stay positive and find humor in the situation. Others offer support and advice to focus on self-care and not rush into a new relationship.

heck no, but I took ALLLLLLL of the PC stuff, so he asked me for a catalog tonight so he can start restocking his kitchen! LOL I told him I only accept cash, he didn't think it was funny, but I did and I was serious too!

He was the reason I started PC, he loves the products, BUT I took everything anyways, it's my business, not his, and he can't prove he paid for any of it. I did let him keep his grilling tools, but I don't care about those, I don't grill. Of course I didn't have a catalog with me... grrrrrr... so I'll be stopping by sometime this week and leaving it with him. He's up to about $300 right now for things I know he wants, woohoo commission! LOL

I'm so very proud of you. You kept your dignity. That can't be replaced.He didn't deserve you, and you're much better off without him. How do I know that? He let you go. Years from now you'll look back and wonder what you ever saw in him.BTW, my ankle-kicking services are still available, should you feel the need for a bit of anonymous revenge. Though, it seems like you got a good parting shot in with that hug. ;)

I am so proud of you, what awesome strenght! That's great that you got to speak your mind and mess with the other girl's mom; what a great touch! I'm glad you can eat and you must feel so strong and proud of yourself and I think all of us here think so too! Keep up the good work, God is good and you will be amazed and the great things he has in store for you! Trust me, I've been there! ;)

:D I'm like beaming right now, I really am!

I have been through worse, I've been married before, and it was an extremely abusive relationship, not so much physical, but very mentally draining. The best 14 months of my marriage was when he was in Iraq on a tour. I survived that 8 years of heckel, plus the divorce, there isn't much thats going to take me down too far. I know I'm a very strong person, and I was raised to always be the better person. I'm not perfect, far from it, but I am working on myself to be the best person that I can be.

I'm getting back to my old self again. I've been distant from everywhere lately. I've been online, but playing games and not socializing really. I no longer think my heart is going to explode or jump out of my chest at the thought of him, and honestly, my thoughts of him are few and far between.

I decided to try out forgiving him. I truely have forgiven him, but while saying that, I have not forgotten, nor will I forget. I feel so much better with the hate in me gone.

Haha! I did call him today though, he still wants a cattie, but I remembered something else I forgot in the house. I called and said, will you check in the bathroom for my pads and tampons... I asked him to bag them up and bring them to me LOL! I said I really could use them any day now!

He's going to call me tomorrow and set up a time to swap them for a catalog so he can place an order.

SOOO... over all things are good. Although it's one of our craziest weeks at work, it hasn't been too bad. The only thing I need to do now is to find some friends in my area to do things with. I get pretty bored pretty easily. I'm not use to being alone after having so much action all of the time with a 6 yo running around.

I'd even be leery of his cash to pay for any PC... The chick may break it all and then return it to HO blaming you for damaged stuff! He isn't worth any amount of commission IMHO!

I'll do direct ship to his house, i won't even touch the stuff, can't blame me that way. I was even smart, I'm giving him a catalog that is blank, doesn't even have my name on it. he knows how to get ahold of me without having to have my business info, LOL, besides everything in my info is now his not mine! I need to buy EVERYTHING new, but I'm waiting until I move again.
