Keepin it together

Does anyone else feel like they think too much. Stuff just keeps happening to me and I dwell and dwell and try to remember all the details from one day to the next, but I know I can't keep doing that. It really burns me up when people don't do right and I always question why. I have got to burn into my brain that some people are just bastards and they couldn't care one bit about you or the life you live. They were born bastards and they are gonna die bastards. I can't do anything but get them as far away from me as possible. I don't want to be like that, and I don't want my children to grow up to be like that. Its a strange feeling to let go of someone you were once close to. It can be heart breaking when you reminisce or it could be a sigh of release when they are finally gone. Its the latter for me. It was a sigh of relief to see him go, but the mess he made while draggin his crap out with him is something I still have to deal with. We have 2 beautiful kids and they are wonderful, but his part was played by an empty vessel filled with endless hours of xbox 360 and war games. I am happy he's gone but wish it wasn't so much mess to clean up. Did anyone deal with these issues while being separated? Please let me know what your stories are?
