Ode To The Ex

LETTER TO THE EX-WIFE:

I contemplated whether I should send this letter or not and well since you’re reading it you know I didn’t go with the latter.  This letter is beneficial for reasons I don’t care to list, but know that it is.  Nonetheless, here goes…..I forgive you.  I forgive you for your idiocy, for your underhanded schemes, your petty behavior and your warped views of reality. 

Some callous things have happened in the past, distant and near…and finally I’m starting to understand.  I guess I would be frustrated too if my actions and motives were ill willed……but still inconsequential.  Never-mind the inconsequential, I want you to know they didn’t go unnoticed…..

I would be frustrated too if;

·         I married someone who only married me not because he was in love or loved me but because I got pregnant

·         I my only means of trying to hold on to my husband would be to get pregnant again because I know how important having a social family environment is to him 

·         once in the marriage I no longer could fool my husband or myself into thinking I was what I clearly wasn’t…a good wife, a housekeeper, or a good mother

·         I had to receive sexual advice from my mother-in-law because I did not please my husband (which resulted in an affair physically and emotionally)

·         the only fight in me was not of a lioness but of a mutt and I lost one of the best men/husbands/fathers out there

·         my ex chose to be with a complete upgrade, head to toe, inside and out

·         every time someone saw my kids they felt the need to help because of their appearance or lack thereof

·         I never know my children’s sizes in clothes or shoes because though I receive my child support monthly I neglect to buy them necessities

·         I was so trifling that I took “Go Green” to a whole new level by passing down my underwear to my eldest daughter…I know it’s unsanitary but hey

·         I coerce my second husband into marriage the same way I did my first…pregnancy

·         I remarried someone who is often unemployed and when he does work, he still doesn’t make his child support payments to his children

·         my husband was the pastor of a church and was using church funds to make some of those child support payments…this takes tithes and donations to another level

·         that same child support I received oh so faithfully I became dependent upon....OMG what am I going to do when my kids grow up and out of the house (I picture nail biting)

·         every summer I tried to interfere with my ex getting/seeing his kids, but NOTHING stops him

·         every time my kids returned back to me, they look like they’ve been on “Extreme Makeover” or “Style my Kids”

·         my penny-pinching behavior caused me to put my kids in harm’s way, having them wear 3 month contacts for 6 months then sending them on missions like Operation get Contacts from your daddy….I know you can’t see what’s in front of you and you can possibility end up reading Braille before it’s said and done but hey

·         the life I felt like I was suppose to have slip through my fingers and now I’m bitter, regularly indulge in playing the victim, and attempting to make others miserable…another epic fail your my part

·         to impress others I lived outside my means which resulted in me filing bankruptcy and my house going into foreclosure

·         I was hoping and wishing that my ex’s marriage failed and it has been nothing but successful

·         my new husband was paying my ex-husband’s new wife compliments on Facebook….though warranted they’re not wanted

I’m not a doctor nor do I proclaim to be a psychologist but it is my observation of all the signs you’ve exhibited I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you seek some counseling or support forum of some sort where you can express your discontentment.  Taking it out on others is totally asinine, pathetic, and “almost” hopeless.  I say almost because I’ll never give up on you….good luck honey.

Luv,

The Mrs
