J has left from his month long leave. He’s moved on to California.
The kids spent a week with him without me, plus a weekend. It wasn’t what I wanted, and I was advised against it, but it happened so there you go.
I told him about some things that I knew, including the fact that he bought a phone in his name for the girl he always planned on leaving me for, prompting to call me a “Crazy fucking stalker”.
This whole month has been full of hard.
I’ve been down on myself for a lot of things, some of which were not my fault.
I tried so hard to be a good wife, and regardless of what he or anyone else believes, I know in my heart that I gave it my all, and that was all I could do.
I’ve been down on myself for not selling as much as I’d hoped in my shop. Just because it’s not selling doesn’t mean that my art is worthless. I forget that sometimes. I plan on adjusting prices and hoping that helps.
I’ll be okay. I forget that sometimes too.
Divorce is hard. Even if it’s amicable, it’s just fucking hard. I’m sorry you’re having such a hard time, but it will get better. Ugh…don’t you hate it when people say that? I’m sorry for saying that too. You’re a great person and you deserve better. That’s the truth. I’ve haven’t seen your art yet, but I can’t wait! I’m crazy, stupid jealous of anyone with artistic talent. I have a degree in photography, but as far as drawing or painting go…I can’t even draw a straight stick person.
I’m always here if you need an ear…or two!
Thank you so much for your kind words. Funny how sometimes they come just when you need them.
My art is here http://www.etsy.com/shop/kimberlyhughes but there’s not much in there at the moment.
If you get bored I have crappy MSPaint drawings here that I make for my own amusement. http://www.tumblr.com/blog/vevice
You’re very welcome. I know exactly what you mean and I’m so glad I was able to give you some of those nifty words with the good timing ;)
Going to check it out now. Woohoo!
I LOVE your work! If I ever get any money (waiting for my disability case to be settled), I’m so buying some stuff!
