More problems with the stepson and more refusal from my husband to do anything about it. I was supposed to go to MN for Valentines Day and canceled my ticket. Let him spend it with his son. The jerk didn't even remember our anniversary and strangely, I didn't really care. I guess I've grown used to it.

But, I'm going to do what's good and right for me. I'm going to continue to live in my beautiful home and enjoy the benefits and get a life of my own. I'm actually happy about this decision. I refuse to put myself through anymore stress and especially, financial. Too old for that at this stage of my life. This is easy to do because he works in another state so I don't have to deal with him on a daily basis.

Don't get me wrong, he's a good man in other ways until it comes to protecting and defending me against the assaults of his sons. Then, he's a big chicken you know what. But, if he can live with that realization, so be it. I don't have to live with it.

I've taken back my power and damn, it feels good!
