You are a rare guy Tomato. Most of the men I know do not enjoy shopping at all.. Unless it's for electronics (which the camera is but we know you'll shop for more than that with your d).
tomato, nice to see you enjoying your daughters company. i have a 14yr old. we went shopping last weekend.we get to the mall and she says , i will go that way and you can go and do your own shopping. i did not interfere with her space. we still had fun. you are doing well. yes Jesus is King, and Lord.

Hi Tomato, you sound like you are enjoying time with your D. Good for you and her. I am not sure I read correctly some parts about your darling and your interactions (wink?????????????????), I may have to go back and re read before I say something. Love K
I guess I could have made it easier by linking the previous thread into my current one. But, your eyes did not deceive you about my interactions w/ my darling. I have only been without sex for a week now. That is probably about our average. And maybe it won't change much even post-divorce. That has never been a problem in our M. If we could just figure out the other stuff. She called again today to check and see if our IRS check had arrived yet.
It is nice to have you girls & guy drop by for a visit.
I dropped off DD15 late this afternoon. We had a very nice time together. She got to meet the in-home part-time LPN who helps to care of my dad when my mom needs a break. DD15 has shown some interest in maybe wanting to go into the nursing field when she gets older. Plus she found out that the nurse has a 16 yr old daughter. So she of course gave her the myspace info so that she can have a new myspace pal to chat with. I really enjoyed having that special time to spend with DD15. She means so much to me.
My darling contacted me after I had dropped off DD15. She informed me that due to her being thoroughly stressed out she is taking the next few days off from work. She hopes to be able to use the time to find an apartment of her own. So she was checking to see if I was still willing and able to loan her a lrge sum of $ so that she can move. I gave her my assurance that I would help her. When I asked how she was feeling she just responded in a very sarcastic way by saying WWWoooonderful, gggreeeeaat. I remember responding to her a few times that way as well. So I know how she is feeling.
Sounds like your time with D15 is going good that definitely can fill ones bucket. Your 'darling' sounds very stressed and confused on her path, you are doing a good job being her rock without even trying proud of you brother, stay your course something keeps bringing her back to you you are her rock even though she may not see it.
Obviously the D has lightened her stress level towards you that can only be a plus in my book. God certainly has a plan just keep following his lead he will let you know where you are going in due time.
What's up bro'? Thanks for the post. I am always very "stoked" to spend any amount of time w/ DD15. She is a very special kid. I get her to smile quite a bit and she does the same for me. We have a really nice rapport with one another.
I had gotten an acoustic guitar for her & I for Xmas. She participates in a "kid's club" summer program where she apparently will have someone to teach her how to play guitar. So I let her have the guitar when I dropped her off today. She has not shown much of an ability to be responsible for things so I hope that by my stressing to her that this would be a test to see if she can handle more responsibility, that it will pay off.
Tomato sounds like you are doing very well! Got to spend some quality time with DD15 and that is so important.

Hi Ted
Thanks for checking in on me. I will have to do the same over on your's.
DD15 is a precious kid and I couldn't be more thrilled to play the role that I am in her life. For me to earn her trust as I have been able to dois really nothing short of amazing. She has every reason in the world to fear and loathe anyone of the male gender. She has caused me to adapt and become more kind and gentle. It is the only thing which will stand a chance of working with her. She is a very delicate, soft person. Refining those qualities in myself would cause me to be a better husband to my darling because she is very much like DD15. If she would only see what she is missing out on.
I hope that you are able to use the Lord for support and strength. Much peace to you.
