The Rulz Have Changed!

1~ No More Apologies or Begging To "Him." I was not wrong to feel the way I did, given the situation. Yes, maybe I handled it wrong, I made a mistake (I am not perfect and never claimed to be) But I did give it 110% trying to make it better and it didn't work. I love him and miss him but he walked away. His Loss.

2~ No More Being Down on Myself. I am not a bad person. I am a single mom that works hard to maintain a home for myself and my sons by myself but still find time to help people I care about in any way that I can.

3~ No More Saying I Am Weak Because I Cry & Hurt! I am a strong person because I continue to care about people after being hurt and am willing to try even when I am scared of rejection and struggling through many storms at once.

4~ No More Making Excuses for Others. I am responsible for what I do and say, so are they.

5~ No More Giving More Than I Get From Men. (Ok, so this one is going to be the hardest to keep. If you know me, you'll understand why.) I deserve the same love, respect and devotion that I give. PERIOD.

Now I have to try to think of the best way to break the news to the boys that he won't be in their lives anymore. That's going to be a tough one because they really like him and were always begging to see him. (Truth be known, it was CJ & Brit that convinced me he was worth giving a chance when he started hanging out with us) You know, being a single parent trying to date is one of the hardest jobs there is I think. Not only do we have to face possible rejection ourselves, but we also have to help our children deal with it. Gives you something to think about, huh?!
