How you doing next time I am out I will have to drink a toast to all of us who have gotten screwed. I hear you man. We certently have been screwed but have you ever been screwed over and not learned from it. This may be the crapest learning ever but you will bounce back and be better for it.
Hope your going well today
JWS, I'm doing OK. I don't know if I'd trade one second of the hurt or one second of the pain for the joy of becoming a mature adult. Life is so different now. It has a completely different flavor or color to it.
So, let's see. She's a 42 year old depressed asthmatic smoker with ADD, low self esteem and a drinking problem. She has all but abandoned her kids and is cheating on her husband and has yet to realize that botox isn't going to roll back 18 years and that hard work has to be added to talent in order to create success. She is still attractive and if I saw her while I was out, I'd definitely notice, but, I don't think that I'd give her a second look. When I look at things this way, I doubt that I'd want a relationship with her. But, she is my wife and we have those three wonderful kids and 18 years together, I'd forgive her in a heartbeat if she'd turn away from the path she's on.
Yeah, I'm doing pretty good today. Had a tough moment this evening as D12 was crying and saying that she misses Mommy and then this was a new one, she said that she misses Mommy and Daddy together. That was tough because I didn't know what to say.
JWS, I'm heartened by your wife's determination to become an attorney. I sometimes think that my wife's MLC could have been staved off if her self-esteem was built upon more than her looks.
