Matt -

The person you are angry at and rightfully so - is your ex. WHOEVER he wound up with - might be an ass. Might be unscrupulous. But that person "owed" you nothing. Ultimately, it was your ex who screwed things up. This is/was between you and him and no one else...

That being said - I think your shirt idea is cute... but ultimately - I don't think you want to walk around advertising a battle wound - no matter how big it might be. Another cliche is that the real best revenge is to go on and live your life as if that person doesn't even matter. That's not easy to do now. I know. I understand that. But do you really want to give him the "power" over you and your emotions?

He already took his part of the relationship away from you. Let that be enough. Don't let him take ANYTHING else. He doesn't deserve it. And you deserve more.

The T-Shirt thing is mostly just an expression of my emotions, but a fitting one at the moment (pun intended). I don't want to give him power over anything. The problem right now is that my brain simply cannot handle this much trauma in such a short time. I want to get over it and past it and through it and all sorts of other prepositions, but I have no idea how long it will take and in the mean time, it's absolute torture. I've dealt with anxiety and depression for 28 years, but nothing to this extent. This is beyond what I ever could have imagined for myself. So, I'm trying my best to do what my doctors tell me to do.
