Yeah, as will those old TV series. IT wasn't too bad, but missed the gore. Fortunately, streaming isn't as bound to rules as as cable was.

...things that have happened, and that are coming.

While sometimes lonely, I do enjoy my solitude.

I'm going to put all my effort into creating. I no longer desire wealth or status. I will love my daughter with all my heart and give her a life I never had.

I'm looking forward to my future.

I've told her to move out.

...refused. She made no effort to reconcile or repair our marriage, while I fell into my pattern of fawning and people-pleasing.

I didn't want to see who she became. She is vain and self-centered. I'm tired of being an accessory to her show. No more. Everything was focused on her.

What has begun.
Self-love.
Self-respect.
And years of proud
Accomplishments.
The laughter.
The empathy.
And years of supporting
My daughter.

What's also begun.
Honesty.
Courage.
And years of earned
Success.
Happiness.
Integrity.
And a future to be
Who I am.

Goodbye, my love.
I hope you find it.
