I had suspicions that my ex was seeing someone else, and his dishonesty only fueled my doubts. Lies piled upon lies, and I felt like I was living in a web of deceit. When I finally discovered the truth, a mix of emotions overwhelmed me. I felt hurt, betrayed, and like my existence didn’t matter anymore.
The pain was compounded by the fact that he had chosen to stay in our son’s life, yet he had no qualms about moving on to someone else and starting a new family. I struggled to understand why he would stay in our son’s life if he was going to pursue someone else. The situation was especially difficult for me because our son wasn’t Biologically his. Oh top of the 2 other sons we had together. That are Biologically His, he use our son as a reason to justify his infidelity.
As time went on, the situation became even more painful. I found out that they were expecting a baby, just a few months after our own child was born. I felt replaced and like I was just a temporary placeholder until he found his “forever” person. He hasn’t been around much for our new baby. The lies, the hurt, the pain – it all took a toll on me. But as I navigated this difficult time, I began to focus on my own healing. I learned new skills like hair braiding and nail care, which helped me bond with my children and find some sense of purpose. I also started building an online presence and community to support others who’ve gone through similar struggles. I started college, pursuing a degree in Business Leadership and Entrepreneurship, and I’m proud of the progress I’ve made.
Through this journey, I’ve learned the importance of self-worth and prioritizing my own happiness. I’m still figuring things out, but I’m determined to move forward and find my own path. If you’re going through a similar experience, know that you’re not alone. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed and lost, but it’s also okay to take the time to heal and focus on yourself. Remember to prioritize your own worth and well-being, and don’t be afraid to reach out for support when you need it.
