There comes a time when you can let it go. You reach a point where you say, "You clearly do not love me, value me or cherish me. I am worth all those things."
In your journey, you are ready to look to the future instead of dwell in the pain of the past. Sometimes, you are obliged to move forward and you are alone, but still surrounded by loved ones. There is great power in releasing negative emotions and focusing on improving your life and your children's welfare. We all have this power. It is rooted in our families.
When you have tried so hard, for so long, and your heart has been torn in two and you can't think of love without sorrow anymore, it's time to free yourself. You can then say, "You, who has hurt me so much: you no longer deserve this family... and you no longer deserve me, as your lifemate."
Sometimes we come together with men for one purpose: to create our beautiful children. Then, it may be our task to build a good life for those children alone and we must do it using our own resources and strength. It's not easy or simple... but anything worth so much always requires great effort. You must come to the point where you believe that you can do this--create happiness for yourself and for them. Don't hold onto anything that compromises you.
You are ready to go on. You accept that you loved, you lost... and you hope that you will one day be blessed with love again, that lasts.

Beautifully written and straight from your healing heart. I hope that you truly believe this. I am glad that you are ready to let go and move on. You do deserve love and happiness with no strings attached.
Yes, my beautiful friend, truer words were never spoken.
It's hard. But you can get through it, and be happier and healthier in the end. I KNOW you can, cause I went through it, too.
Thank you. I needed this. You may have sat down to write it for yourself, but as I read it my heart says you wrote it for me. I don't think I will be the only one who feels that way. So... I thank you.
Yes, yes and YES. All these things are so true Joye. Most of all, however, you are SO worthy of real love. It will come.....on its own time but it will come.
Bravo, Joye. You DO deserve to be loved, cherished and happy. And you're never alone when you have friends. :)

I still think that teaching Sara to say "Daddy's an ass" is the way to go.
Kidding.
You are wonderful.
Sara will learn on her own that Daddy's an ass, don't need to tell her now... you however Joye are a beautiful individual who deserves so much more and something tells me you are soon to get it!! xoxo
