Stella, I'm so sorry that your D's college admission might be in jeopordy at this point. This just adds more stress to your life.
Yeah, I guess it was the stress news yesterday - I didn't handle the convo with H well. I'm not even sure I've listened to what he was saying, sounds like old pre-bomb me, just angry and lashing out. I really should have known better by now. I forgot that one cannot lean on MLCer's shoulder for support.
D17 was only 1 point short of passing! And I can't bear the thought of her losing the admission. However, there is a loophole: she has the number of points required! She's got extra points from another exam, so technically speaking she still meets the required average. She contacted the Admission Office yesterday and now we're waiting for their decision.
Wish us luck!

Saying some extra prayer now for your D17 to get the answer she is looking for. Remember though, when God closes a door, he sometimes opens a window. Keep on the lookout for both possibilities.

As for the convo with H, you need to call him back and apologize for lashing out. You know this. He is a DAM and we cannot count on them to know the right things to say all the time. Worse yet he is an MLC DAM, almost guaranteeing he is going to say the wrong thing. However, it does not diminsh his concern or his place as the head of the family.
Unfortunately, even when they do not act as they should, we must still act as if they are and treat them as such. I am finding that when I keep my mouth shut, do not respond quickly as I have in the past, and treat my husband with respect, that those are the days that he tends to be nicer and more helpful around here. I doubt he realizes that I am paving the way for him to resume his position as the head of our family, but at least I know I am striving to live my life according to God's plan, I just must wait for God's timing.

Our old ways do creep up once in a while. I'm sure H realizes the news about D stressed you out and that is why you reacted the way you did. I am praying that your D can still get into College as planned.

SMW, Addie, Jen, thank you for the prayers and good liuck wishes, much needed and greatly appreciated!
I diddn't call H, even though I know I should have, I agree with you, SMW. I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
I have to wait out the wave of blue mood.
Right now I' m just weary.
((((((((hugs)))))))) to you all.

Hi Stella Great to have found you! Congrats on making to piecing that is so fantastic.
From what I've read it sounds like you may be focusing too much on OW and not enough on yourself. Forget about her she is out of your control. You can only work on being you and being attractive. You know what I mean? Do you have something you can do or think about when thoughts of OW pop into your head? She is so insignificant, and you are so fabulous!

At the moment I'm so busy thinking about D17 that OW's gone out of my head completely :). Every cloud has a silver lining...
