I Guess All Good Things Must Come to an End.

 Good Morning Everyone!  I hope this post finds you all good.  I am having a really bad week.  On Sunday, I broke up with Scott.  I am not putting this on FB or Instagram, but he started about 1.5 months ago gambling quite a bit.  He is also taking alot of CBD gummies with THC in them and is in a fog most of the afternoon.  His whole personality has changed.  I'm not going to go into a whole lot about this, but I will say it had become very toxic and he said he doesn't have a problem.  When people don't see they do, they won't get better.  There were alot of other reasons I'm not going to get into, but I am better off alone than put up with that.  I am still at my apartment in Salisbury.  I have it until February, when my lease is up.  I will be looking for a place down in the Mint Hill, NC area.  I really loved living down there.  I'll keep everyone informed about my new place.

When something like this happens, you realize how many friends you have and I have to tell you they have been coming out of the woodwork to tell me I am loved.  This means more to me than anything!  I want to thank those of you that have reached out to me.  Sometimes you just realize you can't fix something and you have to take care of yourself.  

On a good note-Monday thru Thursday I went to NJ.  I stayed at my sister, Sue's house where my Mom lives.  We went out to lunch on Tuesday and had a great time.  Wednesday, Sue and I went to Home Goods and walked around.  It was so nice to have some fun for a change.  I am going back up for Thanksgiving and staying about a week.  This time I am going to visit with alot of my NJ friends.  That is always a good time!  I will go back up for Christmas also but not stay a whole week.  I have been asked to interview for a construction assistant job, which could be part time or full time.  I hope I get it!  I go to talk to them on Wednesday.  

Well that is my tale of woe.  I am in a much better place now.  I know I am worth something more than I was when I was with Scott.  It is hard when you love someone and they just start taking a wrong path, but you have to know when to say enough.

Everyone have a wonderful weekend!

  1. Stay strong! Going back to Mint Hill area will be a positive. Hope the job comes through…will it be in Mint Hill?

    1. The job would be in Charlotte. I might not move back to Mint Hill now. I might stay around here or in the area. The prices are better here.

  2. You were brave to venture on a new relationship, but remained smart enough to get away from it. What a bummer you had to learn of his follies through experiencing it! Drats! Glad you can have new plans; (maybe the landlord can let you out of the lease early without a penalty?) Be safe and careful in your travels. We're hugging you all the way! Linda in Kansas (been there, done that.)

    1. Thanks Linda. I am going to speak with the leasing company here. The policy is if they have a person to rent it, then no penalty. If they don't then I have to continue to pay the rent. I'm just glad I didn't move in with him or marry him. I dodged a big bullet.

    1. Thanks Kay! It will work out for me. I got out before bad things were going to hit the fan. It still hurts, but it would have hurt if I got further into the relationship.

  5. You have been through so much. Good luck with the job. I am behind I think. I know you sold your home. Maybe get a tiny cottage in Lake City area close to beach. Prayers prayers prayers Brenda
