I just thought I would stop in and report on life outside of the blender...it is awesome.

Crazy ex is still awful and pulling all sorts of crap. He is either trying to get in my pants or hates me and is trying to dictate things. He just broke up with what I think must be GF #7.

BS7 is doing amazing... therapy was so worth it. We still have our moments and he will always be a strong willed kid, but wow, what a difference.

Work is crazy...couting down till 3pm when I can get the heck out of here.

Boy friend is fantastic! He is so supportive and loving to me and absolutely amazing with BS7. He has no children or ex wives so that is like gold. We had a great Christmas, his family has been great to BS and I.

Because he is a over the road truck driver he is only home a few days every two weeks, so he is around a lot of the time when BS is with me. The two of them do really well together. He has had 3 step fathers as a child so he is really intune with my son and his feelings. Having spent time in the blender I also so not see my son through rose colored glasses and make him tow the line with treating the BF with respect.

It is hard to believe that I started out 2014 in a horrible abusive relationship and finished it with basically a whole new life.

My former stepsons came over for Christmas with my sister's family and we had a blast. The 3 of us are probably closer now then when I was married to their dad. They also have met my BF a couple of times and really hit it off with them. My sister commented on how chummy they were with him.

I wish all of you out there much joy and happiness. It is an awfully long life to be miserable. It is possible to get out and rebuild and be happy!

Happy New Year!
