I Am Venting

I am ready to be left alone by you....please don't talk to me. Once the divorce is finalized I don't want to hear from you again...you exhaust me, and frustrate me at times, and plain right out enrage me. Any empathy I've had for your "broken heart" is gone....maybe it left when you called me names, or pointed blameful fingers at me, maybe it dwindled when you were not mature enough to talk as adults do and turned to begging then belittling, or maybe it is just because I've realized how much you've held me back from being okay with myself. Now that I can breathe and am on my own, I smell fresh air and my lungs are getting refreshed. Please let me enjoy that. I don't need your outlandish demands tonight or any other night ever again.
