I love life. I love the people I have surrounded myself with. I love my kids. Hell...I love me. I feel so solid, appreciated, confident, calm, relaxed, in control of myself and I feel like I'm truly enjoying life for the first time probably a decade...and maybe more than I ever have before.
Wow. I would like newbies to read this too ... this is what I mean where even if there is no guarantee for your M, there is a HECK of a lot you can do for your own happiness. One's own happiness doesn't have to depend on someone else, and Scott you illustrate this perfectly.
I doff my hat to you, kind sir

Tom - thank you SO much for sharing that! And wine you say? hmmm. Oh btw...talked to STBX and the call came in yesterday - S8 got on the team. WOOT!
Ian - Whatever.
Thanks Jen! Do I wish my wife could have stepped up, looked at herself taken ownership for her actions and changed too....sure. But I had no control over that and my situation played out the way it did because of that. But what is most important is that I saved myself and I am happy again. YAY ME!
I haven't heard back from her on the mediation Fender. Should probably follow up though.
Went out with P the last two nights. Had a blast. She is SO funny. Had other people meet up with us too. Sat night she bought me dinner... Aaawww. Then we went out for a couple drinks and my buddy met us out.
Then yesterday we went to brunch at noon. Then hit a bar for couple beers. Then to her friends house, then to my friends house...where we ran jntonmy BIL... Which was interesting but fine. Then we all went to another bar where P won $100 on Keno (we each made a $5 bet) so then we rsn out for Chinese food and sushi. I think we were home by 10pm.
Her x took the younger kids for a few days so this was her big break. But unfortunately that turned into a lot of drama. He had no place to stay with them. It was a bit of a mess but she let him deal with it and did her best not to step in. He was going to take them to NYC but he went out the night before and gambled all the money away...nice ay? So of course the kids were bummed. D13 told her last week she didn't want to go because she knew he would ruin her vacation. Smart girl.
Thanks so much......well for everything! Oh and I loved the boston.com videos. Had to laugh at the people going to the Cape in "45 minutes".
Congrats on your son making the team. You must be a proud Papa!
You know I was thinking about what you wrote about promising the kids a trip to NYC. Does this joker have any kids or does he just not care about making promises that he can't keep? I have realized that the most important thing that I can give to my kids is knowing that if I say something it's written in stone (and my kids are a lot older then yours). Looks like that job goes to you as well.
