I went over today and gathered up the remaining things that were/are of sentimental value. I don't have a key to the house, but the ex asked if I would mind letting the dog out after a lawn treatment, so I left the back door unlocked. Perfect opportunity.w
(Oh, FYI, the ex leaves the house for work each morning at 5:00, so the nights I don't have them, I go over there early in the morning. That is the reason I don't have him drop off the kids when he leaves for work. But I know the time will come when he will have S change her work schedule so I won't be able to do this any longer. I'm enjoying my numbered days even more- cooking bfast for the kids and getting them ready for school. I'll at least make sure I can pick them up to drive them to school.)
Anyway, I thought I had already taken everything, but this time I left no stone unturned and found things I had completely forgotten about. I even took pictures and the video of our wedding. I don't personally care about it, but I will at least have them for the kids if they want them. I know I would still them if my parents were divorced. So, nothing with even a shred of importance is over there that I had forgotten about. I even found the afghan and it's IN MY HOUSE WHERE IT BELONGS.
When I closed my trunk I felt a HUGE sense of peace come over me. THat b*tch can no longer do that. In fact, long story, but I actually hold the final card and I'm reveling in the fact that I have something of importance to them that they want and I will NEVER give to them. (Long, long story, but it's nothing that I took. It's a religious thing I will never give to them. The stakes are too high for me to give up the final card, and the ex already asked me for it and I laughed at him. I LOVE the power I hold with this.)
Lastly, the only two pictures that were thrown away that I was upset about are ones that my mom actually had a copy of. And guess what, they are now at my house. :) Still makes me sick that the ex is in agreement with S about throwing them away, and especially the comment he made to ds about how he "needs to forget about the past", but as G told me, this is all going to come back and bite him in the arse later on and will make the kids turn against him. Sad, but he deserves everything that will come to him and the kids will see him as the dirtbag that he is.
Love
