I too like to come here and vent & get advice. I have no family where I live and would like to keep my friends and not drive them away with all my craziness. One day will be good the next I'm a basket case. I haven't smiled much since Thanksgiving and that too is one of my GAL goals.
Some days my office is my oasis and when work is over I'm crying before I get to the first stop light. I'm not wanting to go to a home where there is no chance that H will call or (if he's in town) to spend time with.
My H told me (which I thought was interesting) that it wasn't his job to make me happy and that I couldn't find my self worth through him. I've been H's wife, S19 & S15's mom, but I haven't been ME for a long time. That is another GAL goal. I need to take care of ME. I've taken care of them for 20 yrs. I am responsible for my own happiness and self worth.
If H decides he likes OW's grass better than mine then I will have to take care of my own grass by myself. That's why I'm also eating better, exercising, etc. (another GAL goal).
