I've Come Full Circle 22

[kat727]

One thing that got me was that my friends seemed to be wanting to know the dirt, not all that supportive as far as we will get you through this or let's figure out how to fix this. I would have done better with friends like hers. Like I said before it took me nearly 2 years to find this place, wish I had found you all right away, maybe things would have turned out differently.

Yeah, I saw one of the screenwriters was Anita Loos, and she would be 100 years old or something if she was alive, so figured that. I was surprised she had a boy b/c of there not being any males in the movie! Yeah, I thought that description was so accurate. One thing I found weird was they had Meg Ryan's mom make several remarks about how if you're too bitter you'll need botox or commenting on a bad face lift, and I was thinking, omg, how did she keep a straight face when she said that kind of stuff???

I just watched Mamma Mia! I didn't watch Friday like I had originally planned. It was/is a real pick me up. I think at sometime I will break down and buy it and watch it when ever I could use an extra smile!

I might re watch the Women later this week. Like I said, it just really hits the spot a little hard right now. but I did think it was a good movie just not a comedy that it is labeled as.

Hope everyone is having an awesome day!

My friends mostly seemed like they didn't want to hear or if they did talk about it, just say bad stuff about H and you're better off without him and stuff. Yeah, not supportive like here. I think you guys are the most supportive people ever. But her friends were really great. So supportive and caring. I was really surprised when her friend did that one thing, you know, and betrayed her b/c it seemed really out of character. Shows how much she let her job affect her and change her.

you know this is the first movie that didn't bum me out about marriage or divorce. Don't know why b/c it def. seemed to have that theme, but maybe I am getting to a better place right now. Feeling good about myself and my future although I have no idea why!!!

I don't know that things would have turned out differently for you, but I don't know how you did without the support & friendship here. I stumbled across here I think a week or 2 after the bomb, and am so grateful for that b/c I was in such a low place. I think mentally it makes a huge difference. I guess if our H's weren't so messed up maybe it would have made a difference, too, but I think they are beyond saving right now, well mine at least.... Karen

I was a crying, bumbling mess. I was without direction and focused only on my H. I really became someone I didn't particularly like or respect so how did I think he would?? I am finally getting back to me, the adventuresome, free spirit. Only difference is now I have 4 kids along for the ride.

I know that I don't want them to be scared of me like I was with my Dad but I don't want to be a pushover either. For the record after my brother moved and I got back from Denmark, my Dad had changed a lot. Then 6 weeks after I got married he had a near fatal accident. He suffered some brain damage and nerve damage but honestly he is so much easier to contend with now. I love my parents.

So didn't you think that Meg Ryan was pretty much a typical LBS? It seems she went through most of the stages, not all of them, she didn't try to get him back. Wish I had been more like that, but she did have a very rough time at the beginning.

I was lucky that I did have some friend support. Although all of them were married and I didn't want to to intrude on their families. She was lucky that she had some strong single friends.
