Friday October 30th show
I want to comment on mean words that have been spoken to me. I finally found the courage to share. While my ex-husband and I were contemplating a divorce, he said to me that he didn't love me, that he never loved me and that I was simply a 16 year rebound (we were married for 16 yrs). But wait, theres more... He proceeded to to explain that our daughter and I were just a burden to him and the only reason he was still there was out of a sense of duty.
I could never convey how much those words hurt. Even now 6 years later they are every bit as painful as when the were first uttered. The shock value has worn off. That frozen in place, can't move, can't breath, can't even blink feeling is no longer with me, however the words will live on and haunt me forever. I learned from this to think very carefully before any nasty hateful words can be carelessly thrown out because once they're out there they can't be taken back.
Thanks for reading,
Stacie

Every day that you feel shame for what he said to you 6 years ago, is one more day that he has won. Sometimes we have to use the ugliness in our lives to teach powerful lessons to our children. I hope one day you be indifferent to the nastiness of that man.
