thank you for our marriage and divorce nidra: I am grateful for having had the experience of being married to you. I learned more profound lessons from you more quickly than I think I would have had I never married you. You’ve been my best teacher thus far.
Thank you....
for teaching me what I don’t want
for showing me a life I don’t want to live
for showing me cruelty so that I might recognize and appreciate kindness
for projecting your own sh*t onto me
for calling me a drama queen as you ranted and raved over the most trivial things
for disowning the things you despise about yourself
for blaming me and others for your misery
for being self-centered and neurotically selfish
for trying to make me feel small
for being superficial and obsessing about outward appearances and others’ perceptions of you
for lacking depth and sincerity
for teaching me the difference between insecure arrogance and self-confidence
for your lies and hypocrisy
for teaching me that con-artists and consciously dishonest people exist
for being inconsiderate so that I might recognize and appreciate consider people
for being petty and using my confessed weaknesses and sensitive spots against me
for pressing my guilt button and for trying to manipulate me to get your way
for teaching me that being “right” and “winning” is more important to you than having authentic communication
for showing me that some people value money and prestige above love and happiness
for trying to keep me mentally, emotionally, and socially imprisoned in your warped world of misery, jealousy, and hate
for showing me how much happier I can be without you
for forcing me to learn how resilient and resourceful I can be on my own
In short, thank you for being a royal a$$hole so that I can immediately recognize the signs and thus never have to experience life with another one again!
