What Are You Grateful For Today?

Today is the birthday of my (abusive) ex: the main contributor to my PTSD. Today I am grateful that he kept a decent paying job and managed his finances well which has made him now financially able to provide money to my PTSD daughter, because I can't.

I'm especially grateful that my sons had the balls to put their father up to it under threat they'd disown him. And, I'm especially grateful that I had the strength, the knowledge, and other male friends that helped to instill knowing right from wrong, respect for women, and back bone in my sons to enable them to call a spade a spade and have the willingness to throw a bad card away if it didn't serve playing the game to everyone's favor.
 
I am grateful we got a clear diagnosis of my son's injury, grade 2 concussion. At least we know how to treat it and what to watch out for. Also, I'm grateful he proved me wrong in thinking it was nothing. Meaning I wasn't sure I believed him. Old messages from my past telling me to tell him to suck it up and get over it. No wonder I don't take care of my medical conditions better. Try, however, to stay on top of my kids no matter how negative my mind is thinking and not let those messages creep down to another generation.
