Hi Angelica,

I have been away from the boards for a while. Traveled to be with my family in Massachusetts for the Thankgiving holiday.!! It always feels good to be back home for Thanksgiving. (and yes, I had family come over on the Mayflower, could actually be a "Mayflower Madame".

But the trip was really rough for me. I must be in the holiday blues .... I can not stop crying. I want my family back!! I don't want to pretend that everything is ok when it is not.

The tie that my husband I have to keep us together (besides our children of course) is our home. It has been for sale for the last 2 years without a bite. However, I got a call from the realtor on Sat. evening, indicating that we have an offer. Now most would think that I should be elated ... I am sobbing uncontrollably. It really is the final thing to truly make our union separate. It is the last thing that binds us together legally. It will give him his total freedom to be with the other woman ... my last hope for keeping us together.

Moving from this town at this time is not an option. My daughter has 1 1/12 years before she gradutates. And I can not leave my job yet because I have only just under 4 years before I can retire ... hate to give that up.

I do not have a lot of friends here because of course many of my friends were through my husbands work and coaching. But the friends I do have are the only friends that I have ... so I do hate to walk away from that.

Whahhh, Whahhh, Whahhh.......
