Hi there

I took a break from studying and stumbled across your thread. I found it interesting, especially given the continuity throughout the years. I found the need to comment after reading what was written above me… for someone who’s been quick to respond all these years… idk… seems to be kinda contradicting to their own past posts in terms of attitude.

I definitely think that you’ve healed and bettered yourself over this period of time. I don’t think this pain at all is somehow connected to your mom, as this is a totally different situation that warrants another perspective.

Keep thriving and doing well for yourself. Things your ex has done will always hurt you, and will be unforgivable to you, nothing can change that; but you’ve already heard that a million times, and you’re doing your best to get over it.

What you do with your life is nobody else’s business. Date other people, promote your entrepreneurial business! Don’t let anyone stop you. But maybe apply this rule to your ex — concerning yourself with her own activities is only going to inhibit your own personal growth. Who cares if she’s pregnant with another guy’s kid now – I know it’s a blow to the ego, but you’ve gotta focus on you and your son… everyone else (ex and her bf) are irrelevant. Continue to be in your son’s life – in the blink of an eye he’ll be going off to college, and then you won’t have to deal with your ex’s life at all.

Maintain a good circle of friends, and if you don’t have that strong foundation yet, attend events and put yourself out there to make connections. People that support you are essential.

Good luck to you!!!!!!
