progress is makin da choice to move forward

its a sad moment expressed in quiet as i have no more tears for a heartbreak that has been going on for ova a year..so im letting go of the hope of a reunion..i will continue on the plan for the new year, get myself together so that i can be a better more stronger version of me today...it will be hard to let go complety i have no illusions about the road ive entered on but its a necessary step for me to clear my life of things that hinder my growth...i have occupied to much of my life holding an image of a family together...my heart is heavy with the thoughts of walking away from thag image but i have to if im ever going to be able to sit among them and not feel so crushed by the want of that image to be a reality...ending the year with this decison has awakened a part of me that i had thought was lost to me, i have found and regained some semblence of me and refuse to go back to this old sad sorry me that has held me in a dark place filled with despair and illness...entering the year ready to make the tough decisions has enabled me to breathe a little bit easier and i accept the blame that is sure to be hurled at me stemming from this choice and as with all the wrongs placed at my feet i will deal with it, i am the bastard of old values and that will.never change...love is fighting to stay together, but there is no love here anymore, so the fight is over all spectators have.already left and.im in the ring alone...im ok with that...

its no wonder we are still fighting, we both still have so much anger left over from the fighting that has ceased...i honestly thought we were beyond that but apparently i was sooo wrong...she still doesnt see her role in the problems we have as being legitimate...its still all my fault...my choice placed us here not her choices to push and continue to push me over the edge those choices had nothing to do with the incident...just like her continued lies and subliminals have.nothing to do with why i.still have a lack of trust in her words or actions...im feeling more and more secure in letting go completely...allowing her to push for and succeed at obtaining a divorce...i can continue to fight for our marriage surviving but id be the only one fighting for it...shes lost to me and ive been soooo blinded by the words of hope that i havent heard it in the.crawl spaces of silence held between us...tax time this coming year ill sacrifice as i have always done and make her exit possible so she can then be happy, single and without blame for why we are divorced...i want my name back in return and her to take the majority of carr of our children because i fear what i will feel after the divorce may affect how i raise our children after...that fear of my resentment and anger has thus far shielded me from what is essentially the truth, we have been over for little over a year now...we have just never made it official...the separation hasnt been to get some perspective it has been to make a divorce as amicable as humanly possible wen two people still carry.some love.and hope in their hearts for a better relationship with each other...and maybe the divorce will bring that about...the closing of the door of our union may bring about the opening of the door to a deeper friendship and coparenting that is just as effective and nuturing as we have been able to provide thus far but without the unspoken resentment we both have.over still being with one another...i dont know anything anymore...but i do know that we are not making it as a couple not because we dont want to but because it just isnt something we both want as we look upon each.other...we are further apart than we have been before the kids and even further apart than we have been after the incident...the past still haunts our relationship and im assured that the stain of the past will never be wiped clean i will always be the monster, i will always be that day...no matter how i try or dont react i will never recover the injuries i have inflicted...it serves me right...i should have died that day, that year...so much of me did die in the past year never to be heard from again...so much of my spirit has been torn apart that when i look upon my reflection im not sure of what i see...i have become a distorted version of myself, lost in the mired ugliness of the past...the person i was, am, is not close to the image of my true self...i still hold a high self worth, and a good self esteem about my progress as a man and father and husband...i have my failings and my faults, but the equality of a partner who can and does accept me at my best and worst is still not there...so i must move beyond the hope of finding thay acceptance in her eyes and heart...i have apologized to her, to myself...i have forgiven myself and asked for forgiveness from her...but i can't no longer hold out hope that that forgiveness will ever come...we have reached that point where there is no other place to go but away from each other becuase we would just continue to pollute each others lives to the point of insanity...and i cant afford to go crazy or go backwards to the point where my body begins to fail me again...this is my plan to save myself from the pit of despair the blackness that has been surrounding me..that sense of darkness that comes when you have lost faith in yourself...i was there before...i cant go back...i love the light of my life i love the sunshine that has begun to show me that the storm that has been punishing me is almost over...my life is not in shambles, i just havent recovered enough of it to carry myself past the hurt and anger...and blame...it is both our faults...she wants it to either be all mine or all hers...or simply to not exist...blame does exist hurt and anger as well...but it is a choice to continue to weild them as such or to let them go so that you can movr forward...i must let her go so that i can move forward

todays word:accountability

where do you place blame when you dont really want to point fingers..im so over being the forgive and forget type but im seriously taken aback by lack of understanding...her rationale for being consistently late i dont work for the mta...but you control how you spend your day so if you're accountable for the rest of your day how is it that you dont see yourself accountable for your own latenesses...you cant blame the service if you are not giving yourself a cushion to get there on time or rather not taking into consideration that things may happen beyond your control...then i have accept my own mistakes i cld hav jus gotten up n got my own child instead of waiting for his mother..im jus as culpable for the.problems...so today is about accountability

i cant love alone, so what of a love that wishes to flit and flitter about while holding on....how does one cope with the potential of having to let go of love when they have finally allowed themselves to feel love..how does one grasp the reality that love is sooo easy to fall for yet so tough to let go of...today i heard the cry of my heart as it broke...stomped on by the love it so badly wants to hold onto...though it wasnt a finale cuz love says its intentions arent to have this end but it cant predict the future...WTF...how can you soo easily say yes to whoring about but say IDK to keeping it faithful...have i really laid down my heart in the comforts of an adultris...how do i reconcile my heart with my addiction to her, when i feel so alone in my efforts to remain strong in love

perfection is always locked in the memories we keep locked away in our hearts. i still hold many moments of perfection in mine and i add to my collection almost daily...tonite i captured another...my wife and daughter laying together it wld seem like its been forever since ive seen this picture...its a peaceful feeling just watching my two ladies amongst each other...and i will often gaze upon this moment and many just like it when they leave...less than sixty days till they depart and my life gets completely torn apart...i will miss the balance my wife provides...and i will greatly miss the smiles and sunshine that is my daughter...but these memories will sustain me till i have them both with me again...perfection='s the moment of joy locked in your heart...

when you think life is tough and you cant do it anymore...as a single parent...sit and watch you're children develop and grow...it will illicit so much more energy from you that you'll find continuing an easy task...today i watched my children share a moment of growth over my sons pre k homework and it was magical for me...i know everything will work out when it comes to me and them growing up strong and loving life...

jus because i wish it so doesnt mean itll happen...lesson to be relearned...she had plans i didnt remember and instead of communicating that she rehashes the same line..im tired...my day was long...and so what...outside of ur meeting what did u really do that was sooo tiring...nothing...u took care of ur children...wow...i do the same, xcept my day usually begins and ends with them, urs dont...get over urself...arrgh..ok...off the negative and back to the positive...how am i wrong for supporting her wish to do these open mike sessions, by saying ur relieved...go take care of u for tonite i forgot this was a commitment u made for self...y doesnt she see that instead of it being that im shoving her out...one day itll all make sense...on a positive note ive begun online sessions with a single mothers group that has renewed my dedication to taking this seperation for what it is a transition to a better me, a better her and hopefully a better us even if the us isnt together...the insights were on point and honest because they came from ppl going through or have been through much of what im currently going through...it was lovely to finally put it all out there...and my aim for tonite was to sit down with her and put our seperation on paper so its concrete about what we expect from each other during this trial seperation...alas all she got from it was the potential of an arguement cuz she isnt ready to face the situation head on...we shall see wed...
