in which my life fell apart.

I haven't been posting here and I should. I've been posting to Open Diary instead, because in the temp job I had 2009-2010, LJ was blocked but OD wasn't, so I got in the habit of writing there and somehow I can't ever quite bring myself to cross-post. But I should, because I love you guys

I kept a lot of it off Facebook, in part because the legal stuff is not done yet, and deactivated my Fet account - it's still there, and I'll put it back one of these days, but I've needed some space. A couple of very good friends in the community did a lot to help me get through the summer, and many people have taken the time to contact me, ask what's going on (because nobody believes the shit he writes), and ask how I'm doing. It's been a really, really good thing.

You know, people keep telling me that it's amazing that I've been through all this and that I'm still doing school and whatever - even people at the law school were like, are you sure you can handle full-time? And I'm just like, what other choice is there? I could sit at home and feel sorry for myself, and sometimes I do, but you know, that sucks, and I don't want him to have that power over me. They say living well is the best revenge. Well, so I am. I have this awesome thing going and he's been homeless, unemployed, and in jail - oh, and he had a really, really nasty case of the shingles over the summer. Who says Karma doesn't exist? :-)
