Some things can't be fixed

Its been a little while. Things have took a drastic turn since my last post. I am divorcing my wife. Well I am divorcing the woman that was my wife at one time. The woman that I see now isn't her. But I digress, let me bring this sad tale up to current. We got into a small argument on Saturday, I can't even remember the details other than the feeling I had. I was done with trying, I gave up on hope for rehabilitation. And I started separating our lives. It didn't phase my soon to be ex one bit. She wants this too. I was hoping it could be a big warning for her, but it wasn't it was a relief. That hurt a little.

So Saturday was separation day, separating finances, bills, etc. Sunday was more of the same though I got to spend time with my kid which is the best thing about life right now. Monday I met with a lawyer and he gave me some good detail on what I need to do. My son got to spend the night again as well. Tuesday was the last day at the hotel. I was happy for today, Wednesday, to happen so it went by pretty fast. Things are getting better every day by the way. I have let go of hope of this working so I have become free to let go of most of the pain and chaotic emotions. It's still there and I have to turn to others such as my amazing mother for help but it's better. I understand divorce,now not as a punishment for failure but, as a release to a new life. And it will be a death to this twisted ugly broken relationship. I am just looking forward to that day at this point. I will have to tough it out at home with my soon to be ex wife the stranger until then.

It's been a little rocky emotionally on this first day back. Especially when she worriedly asked me if I have had any violent thoughts about her lately. That hurt. I haven't ever raised a hand to her and never would. I used to watch my dad beat my mom, the hell I will ever be like that. I feel bad when I swear at her. It's so sad that I feel like the villain, my wife cheated on me, wants to be with that failure of a man and wants me out of her life but I'm the bad guy. Fantastically tradgic. Oh well I don't have to be with her anymore. Well in about 4 to 6 months I won't anyway. And my eyes are on the prize, freedom from her frosty cruel ways is just around the bend...
