I love that I don't feel scared and isolated anymore, I love that I can go back to work without being made to feel guilty about it, I love that I have been able to get DS into a bit of a bedtime routine and not have a TV blaring right outside his bedroom door or being told that I'm spoiling him by laying with him as he goes to sleep.

I hate that my ex is still playing games and trying to be controlling, and I really hate that I don't know if I'll ever trust another guy enough to have another relationship.
