Hope,
I see that I have missed a lot while I've been out of town. Our live are so similar. Wonder if our H's are brothers. I too do okay until I see him. My in-laws too have seemed to accept her and her kids with open arms while pushing mine out.

This has to be the most difficult thing that I have ever dealt with including the death of my mother. Don't get me wrong I was devastated by her death, but I know she did not choose to leave me. They say divorce is harder than death. Until you experience you don't fully understand.

Hope, I think you doing fine. Live, Love, Be Happy. I see that quote on plaques in a lot of homes, I think that we all could stand to see that as a reminder in our own homes. I saw a plaque this weekend with that on it, I wish I had bought it. I think I will keep an eye out for another one.




Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.
