Well since my last post, I have put the house on the market. It cleaned up much better than I thought it would. I've already had to lower the price and still no bites. I mentioned I wanted to eventually leave my job in order to close that last and final chapter of my life. Well, I was fired 2 weeks ago. So, that ends that. All that's left is for someone to buy my house.
I've got a pretty good jump start on my new life so far. I have reconciled with my ex-fiance and we are now living in his house and planning on getting married soon. I am so relaxed now not working at my old job and having a real man who takes care of things and pays the bills. I can finally be a wife and not the breadwinner or the one that runs the house and finances. It's my turn to be taken care of and in turn be the wife that I know I can be and be loved truly and completely and for all the right reasons. I'm almost 40 and it's about time things started to go right for me and I have some kind of real future.
I'm really hoping that in the next few months with the proceeds of my home, my 401K and his tax credit that we will be able to eliminate virtually all of our debt so we have a real chance at making it and hopefully our ex's will allow us to live in peace and be happy.
My son is going to have to figure out what the hell he is doing. He's almost 18, barely a Junior in high school and still no job. That is going to have to change very soon. I believe Dr. Phil says something to the effect "the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior". Which I believe to be very true. So based on that, my son will have to finance his own summer school in order to graduate. I refuse to pay $750 for his summer classes only to have him fail. Perhaps if he pays for it, it will motivate him to pass. He needs a job anyway to contribute to his bills and gasoline.
So things seem to be turning around finally. I'm done being my own worst enemy. I'm aware of my faults and the things I was doing to complicate my own life. I feel I'm on the right path. I hope my son will find his path soon.
