I've run out of reasons to be mad, and my brain's in panic mode.
It thinks without the anger I'll forget the bad.
I've replaced 90% of the shit she stole
my record's clear
I'm making friends
I graduated
I've dated
repeatedly (unsucessfully but hey...)
I got a better job than the one I lost.
She was a bad girlfriend and not my problem anymore
yeah... she did me wrong
and I'll never forgive her for that
It took 18 months.
12 of which I had my hands completely tied and a blindfold
and ... I got it back.
Sure, I'll never have that time back, but in that time I deleted a person, and undid what was intended to unmake me.
I've lost all reason for my anger...
I'll never forget the injustice, I'll never get what I should have (closure... an earnest apology for ruining AND hurting me to chase some 80 IQ tag wearing compensator who blew his GI Bill on her within 2 months of meeting her) the financial and emotional damages... justice for being beat on by two people in -MY- home. A real education for this girl both moral and scholastic...
But those are things I can't get, and I certainly won't get from her.
I got everything back that I could...
I expected a bigger fanfare than some electronics and a paycheck.
Fireworks, a wet blowjob, a parade?
Bittersweet, but I guess that's life.
I got back what I lost, now I need to see about the rest of my life.
