WHO AMONG US JOINED THIS SITE THINKING WITH A LITTLE READING AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT THIS WOULD BE OVER IN NO TIME?
TELL ME!!!!!
How friggin long have I been here?
I have been here since October 2005.
One year and 8 months.
32 months.
WHEN did I start seeing movement towards my ultimate goal?
December 2006 AFTER I signed separation papers and moved out of our home and my husband moved BACK IN WITH our daughter, who wanted to stay with him.
Do you think I did not feel hopeless? Do you think he wasnt a Grade-A ASS sometimes? Do you think I never thought he didn't love me? Do you THINK I thought he'd NEVER love me again?
I WAS CONVINCED IT WAS DONE! I NEVER thought I'd see the breakthroughs I have seen since Christmas. I NEVER SAW ONE SINGLE SOLITARY THING THAT SUPPORTED MY STAND AND YET I STOOD.
I ate crap, I listened to his venting, I have cried, I have swallowed my pride AND eventually, I stood up for myself.
If you are here and you think this is going to be a cakewalk you are more deluded than a MLCer.
The biggest challenge for anyone here in my opinion is to find the balance between not being a doormat and yet dying to self.
It is my final opinion that if more people would spend their time trying to find their way to that unique place, they wouldn't have TIME to spend all friggin day bitching about what they do and don't deserve.
